So, I Need a new Laptop

[not_nadine]

I am blaming you guys. I won't name names.

I fell asleep with it again. Kicked it off the bed, twice. Now it's in serious danger of losing the screen. Cracked hingy part and looks like something is trying to escape from the top of the keys.


Any ideas of a good one, at a good price? I have had this for about 4 yrs. Toshiba.

I think any good name brand would do. I'm getting Karen a Dell laptop/tablet for Christmas.

Do I owe you some money?

I've owned a lot of different brands. I been happiest with Toshiba.

This has been good for me. Dread roommate says he will put a screw in.

I'm partial to Macs, but we've also had great luck with Lenovo and Toshiba laptops.

Check the Sunday paper for ads from Staples, Best buy, etc. YOu should find something at a good price. Or you could just use duct tape.......

Rather than a new laptop, have you thought about something like a 'tablet'? - I was looking at the Samsung version of the iPad and I think I may ask for this for Christmas.

Here is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with a detachable keyboard and case

I got an Intel Nextbook for a backup. It's small, compact, static drive so it's more durable and boots up faster, touchscreen, the bells and whistles of the other computers, the screen detaches to become a tablet, and just generally has been an impressive little computer, especially for the $249 that I paid for it.

I just bought this one a few months ago on sale at Best Buy.. $1000 .. its a Toshiba and I love it! First Toshiba I have had.

The only brand I won't recommend from experience is an Acer notebook. Those things break easily. There was a closed one on my bed one time and I put my knee on it and it broke, wouldn't turn on.

I guess there are a few lemons in every bunch. I've had ACER, VAIO, HP, and Dell over the years and no hardware issues at all. If you are going for a laptop get at least and i7 quad core (or AMD equivalent) with at least 8GB of RAM. Newer laptops don't come with a disk drive anymore unless you specifically require one. I use an external one from work when I need it from time to time. Good hunting!

I really like my Toshiba laptop. They custom built it to my specifications. Never had a problem.
