What is the best laptop on the market?

The best laptops can cost upward of $4K or more, and if you're thinking of spending that much, I'd get a Falcon.

For the rest of us, yes, HPs provide relatively good bang for your buck, but also have higher than average failure rates. Alienwares are expensive, but great for gaming, but for a relatively decent combination of great gaming and price, the new Sony's with i7 processors and high end graphics cards can't be beat.

Hope this helps.
