Alright so recently my screen on my HP Pavilion DV1000 special edition laptop broke. I was going to pay the big bucks to get it fixed but i decided that my processor is out of date and i have a few other problems happening with my computer and I'm not sure as to how much longer it is going to last.
My question is, are there any brands of laptops that with your experience stand out as being good, and are there any that you wouldn't buy ever again. I need a laptop for basic use. I'd prefer a smaller one, though, becuase I sometimes take it places with me. |

There are low and high-end laptops on every brand. When it comes to technology, I'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for (that doesn't apply for Apple, however.) But it's mostly true across the board, and I don't know what your budget looks like. You also have to consider what you want to do with it.
From my experience, I have had Toshiba, Dell, Sony, and IBM. Toshiba has been the best, but I had, like, Dell Latitude 640 or something like that, and it was complete shit. Never get Sony VAIO--those are shit, as well, and their hardware breaks too easily. IBM was a pretty sturdy laptop, but there were a few things that didn't work out with me. My boyfriend lives by shit like Falcon Northwest, Toshiba Qosmio, and the Dell XPS. |
