>Why "PC PRO" Magazine never rates these laptops as number one or even two?
The build quality of the Toshibas is a bit suspect these days, plus they look all cheap and plasticy. If I were looking for one today, I'd probably go for a Thinkpad (which would be even better if IBM put a Windows key on, it drives me up the wall not having one ).
Dell always seem to come out pretty well in terms of price/performance, and always do well in the laptop tests. Hopefully my trusty ole' Compaq will serve for a couple more years yet.

What's important: Decent build quality, 15.4" display, 1024MB RAM (max 2GB), quiet fan
Price: less than EUR 1400.
Biggest unknown: are the glossy displays hard on the eyes with all that light reflection? Are they any better outside?
Narrowed it down to 3 alternatives
