The 2005 Engadget Awards: Nominate the Laptop of the Year

It’s time for the 2005 Engadget Awards, and we’re asking for your nominations for the Laptop of the Year.

Nominating is easy. Just leave a comment as you normally would with what you're nominating for this category (remember, comments must be validated!). You don’t have to include your reasons for nominating it or any of that stuff, just leaving the name is fine.

Limit your nominations only to devices that were introduced and sold for the first time in 2005 (which means no concept devices or prototypes, though we will allow updated versions of previous products).

Also, products only need to be nominated once to be in the running, so if you’re planning on suggesting something, please make a quick scan to see if someone’s already beat you to it (i.e., please don't nominate anything more than once!). Thanks!

PowerBook G4

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 14th 2006 12:17AM]

Macbook Pro for Laptop of the Year. Core Duo surrounded

by the latest memory and graphic technology, combined with the best operating

system in the most attractive package (Acer's carbon fiber body is

the only major competitor). It has to be considered.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 14th 2006 12:24AM]

The gateway MX7515. It has 100 gig hardrive, 1gb of memory and a smoking athlon 64 4000+ processor. Oh and you probably got a deal at best buy for only $1200.00. I know I did.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 14th 2006 4:58AM]

Definetely HP DV 4000 with awesome superbright widescreen

powerbook 15"







i have one, and i have had NO problems with it.. it is a great laptop and in a couple years, i will be looking forward to investing in a new MacBook Pro =P

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 14th 2006 1:57PM]

The Fujitsu P1510

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 14th 2006 2:31PM]

Macbook Pro - does it count as a 2005 product? =) after being scared off by lack of firepower and compatibility, suddenly Apple is back on my radar again. can't wait to get one of these babies dual-boot Vista on it. if they can corner the laptop market like they cornered MP3 players, Apple is on a roll.



my alternative winner is definitely the Thinkpad series: powerful, well-built, hugely understated (and often under-rated) and supremely well-designed. it's a series of laptops you have to own to really appreciate. i've an older T42p and i'm happy as a bunny - it outruns and out-specs many newer laptops. customer service is unbelievable too, at least in Asia.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 14th 2006 3:16PM]

Dell Inspiron 6000. Best desktop replacement I've seen in a while.



I'd go for the MacBook Pro if it wasn't a 2006 product.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 14th 2006 6:18PM]

if it was 2006 Awards, i'd pick MacBook Pro w/out hesitation..



but since it is 2005 Awards, I will go with PowerBook G4..!!



cheers..!!

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 14th 2006 6:45PM]

How can you vote for a notebook that none of you have used and is coming out in 2006?



But anywho I'd say the Toshiba Qosmio. They really came through with a Media Notebook.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 14th 2006 6:55PM]

INSP 6000? That POS that comes with an X300 64mb Video upgrade. Shoot me!





The Acer Ferrari 4005WLMI. deserves credit



First 64bit mobile laptop using the AMD Turion 64 ML-37 2.0 GHz processor.



it will wipe the floor with any powerbook G4.

MacBook Pro

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 15th 2006 12:40PM]

Too bad the MacBook was released in 2006. I still think the PowerBook was sick, so I nominate it!

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 15th 2006 1:05PM]

One inch thick, sexy aluminum enclosure, most powerful mobile graphics in the world, built in camera, fastest notebook memory available, world-class operating system. MacBook Pro. Hands down.

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 15th 2006 2:10PM]

My only problem with the Powerbook is the build quality, Sure Aluminum looks sexy, but it dents easily and my screen hinges are very loose.
