I would avoid HP at all costs if you plan to use it out of the
country. They will not honor any U.S. warranty outside of the U.S..
I speak from some very bad experiences.
I currently use a Toshiba but think that a high end Lenova would
be better.

Since it's a laptop and all have great processing power these
days - and the internet connection is the limiting factor, why pay
more than you need to? HP, Compaq (same as HP, Dell).
But really the fastest processor you can find for the best
price with a minimum of 2 gig ram memory. Hard drive size on
a laptop is one of those things you can compromise a bit.
Some folks love Apple's and probably for good reason but I'm too
cheap to pay the premium.
