I'm getting a new laptop and I need help in picking out the brand. I currently have a Toshiba and I hate it. The battery life sucks and the fan doesn't work the best. Last week I only had the laptop on for 10 min on the kitchen table (so well vented) and it shut itself off DH finally gave the go ahead for a new one but I have to do my research.
I subscribed to consumer reports online...well that was a waste of money. I know that I'm getting a small screen the 12.1" and what they recommended (last updated in July 2006) was a sony viao but here's the kicker..they don't make that model anymore. All of the sony ones in this size that are currently being sold are $2,000+. DH doesn't want me to go over $1600. Consumer reports didn't list any dell laptops (we have a pc from them and love it) The other one that Consumer reports listed that had good ratings was a gateway. I don't know anyone that has a gateway computer.
Where my DH works we can get a discount with dell, but I don't want that to be the only reason we get a dell. What are your recommendations?? Which ones do you like or dislike and why??
thank you!!
