If for no reason other than this, you should go HP due to their active support for the Go Opensource initiative...

On the Dell website - I see prices (this is good) - on the Hp website I don't (this is bad) - therefore the Hps are proberly more expensive (the Dell I am getting has 3 years on-site-support for a fixed price of R2500 - so I could be wrong)

Also if you want opensource OS like Linux then Hp is good.

Nicholas - http://www.goopensource.org/ - Mark Shuttleworth thinks its a great idea

All that I ask is that you try out a Mac - kilps

Hps don't have prices on their websites since they are always changing due to the exchange rate.

If you could get an equivelent of a dell and an HP the HP would be much cheaper.

Remember this is including on-site-support but my on-site-support only costs me R1500 for three years

Anyway 1 year warrenty for HP products is standard. I.E: FREE

Can I tell you how cheap my HP Laptop was, well here you go.

I bought a top of the Range HP Compaq Laptop from the suppliers for R14.500 including 3 year warrenty (don't buy from Incrediable Connection they rip you off) I.E.: Incediable Corruption

Specs: 3.2GH pentium 4 hyperthreading
1G ram
128mb Graphics Card Radeon 9000/9100
15.4 inch screen

Now please tell me kilps are you getting these specs and a reasonable price for your Dell Laptop.

Mark, you get on-site support except it takes 1-2 weeks for your laptop to get repaired.

On the other hand Kilps and I get support that takes 1-2 hours (helpdesk).
One dude's motherboard blew (due to him mistreating his AC adaptor) and they replaced it in less than a day. So lets see HP do that for their customers.

(And don't say that HPs never brake, because my dad's one is getting repaired all the time.)

Ohh thats a great excuse that dell use, tell me which company has a huge share in a F1 racing team NOT DELL cos they are to money hungry (much like telkom) Hp on the other hand have been charging reasonable prices for quality technology.
