I'm going to be doing a lot of programming using Visual
Studio 6.0 and am shopping around for a laptop. People
have told me that I should definitely get a Dell and not
an HP or Compaq. Any recommendations? If I have it
custom built by someone any ideas on what I should look
for?

Dell, HP/Compaq, and Toshiba are reliable, in my experience. I've had
problems with the mechanical construction of a Fujitsu. I've never heard of
a custom built laptop. But get plenty of RAM.

And don't buy a service contract. Put the money toward saving for the next
laptop.

Toshiba are reliable.
