I don't think there's a "best" or a "worst" in these matters, that calification it depends of many factors envolved, however I always loved HP. i.e: HP Pavilion ze5200 series notebook PC with Intel CPU and IEEE 1394

PIV 2.8 Ghz
80 Gb. HD
1 Gb. RAM
FDD-DVD-CDR&W&ROM
XP Pro included.

As low as....$2,290.99 :)

Toshiba offers an 1.4 Gb processor & 40 Gb HD for $2,419!!! (Ok...includes a lot of soft but...c'mon)
