Laptop suggestions

[ashley832]

Next month I will be getting myself a new laptop when I get my school money. Right now I have an Acer and it sucks. I've had nothing but problems with it since getting it. The screen is stupid, is super super slow, freezes a lot, my CD/DVD thing doesnt work, and the keys are falling off. I'm having to completely erase and redo everything about every month or two. I'll give this one to my little sister and let her deal with the problems..lol.

What laptop brand do you reccommendd? I've been looking at some Toshibas and have found a couple I like. And I've heard Sonys are good. Where is a good place to buy? I got this one at Circuit City.

All suggestions are welcome!

myself my wife and my son all have Dells I think they are fast and very reliable
just my 2 cents

i have the dell inspiron 1525 and love it.
have had no problems w/ dells and i've used them @ work as well as home.
Guess it depends upon what you're using it for, what specs you need etc.

ive always been an HP guy...just got my new HP last week and totally love it...dont know about the new Dells, but my HP has the new BluRay player and the HDMI cable so you can hook it up to your tv...great sounds quality and lots of memory... :)

I'll jump on the Dell train. i have an inspiron. few problems everynow and then but nothing huge. Me and shayne were talking about it earlier. i think she was leaning towards a dell to haha

Dell is a very good way to go. You can usually find a good deal and there are almost always online coupons to make the deal even better. If you need any help with the specs let me know.

Disclaimer: I am an IT Manager and I may be a little bias. I use mostly Dells.

I've had a Toshiba for 3 yrs now and it still works great.

Ashley, take my word for it, DEFINITELY go with a Dell. I have the Inspiron E1405 and it's wonderful. It's very lightweight, durable, and very dependable. If you don't know much about computers, here are a few things that I would suggest making sure your computer comes with:
-Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo Processor
-AT LEAST 2 GB Memory
-AT LEAST 250GB Hard Drive

Dell has some GREAT online savings, including the main one you'll see on that page: The Inspiron 1525 for only $549 (with rebate).

Plus, you can choose your own color on a lot of them :)

I also have a Toshiba. Satellite L355 I love it and haven't had any problems. Got it from Best Buy a little over a year ago.

There is a site out there that has really nice laptops that aren't Dell's, Acer's, Sony's. The site is Ibuypower.com.
