edit: and you don't want your sony battery to explode on you
ibm is by far the best. toshiba, fujitsu and acer are pretty good. but fujitsu is usually a little higher end, meant more for corporate use. acer doesn't have a good selection in the US. they make the Ferrari notebooks in Europe
the battery reference has nothing to do with laptop selection,
plus i can point out about 15 people in my company who have ibm laptops with the faulty batteries. not to mention if yours is faulty it will be replaced free of charge.
other than that your right, hp/compaq sux balls
