[GMA forever]

I need to buy 3 new laptops for my work, and to tell you the truth I am starting to be confused. Each one tells you to avoid this or that brand.

I need a little professional opinion from y'all about really what Laptop brands I should avoid, and if you advise for a specific brand, please state the reasons why and how is the best way to purchase it (internet or shop).

Thanx for your input!

P.S. Since I hate Vista, would you advise to purchase a Laptop with windows vista on it, and then change it to XP Professional?
