Too many have died in my experience. stay away from the Inspiron family of Dell’s and i agree with the above statement of staying away from the toshiba HDDs as they do suck balls the dell latitudes on the other hand are decent…bulky but robust. i work on nine of them at work and they never have any hardware problems but as for the inspirons…well they are a waste of money ---

my dell lattitude 620 roxors. I use this thing non stop! It travels with me, gets thrown around and I have yet to have one single issue with it. My 610 I had when i was an engineer was the shit too!

I just picked up a Gateway (not sure of the model) and I went ahead and purchased the 3 year warranty from Best Buy that covers me dropping it or spilling liquid on it! If somehting doesn’t go within 3 years you better believe towards the end of that time I would be going ahead and busting something. ---

I heard Sam’s Club has some pretty good deals on laptops and such. I would probably go with a Toshiba or Acer, maybe an HP. I wanna stick it out and see what Black Friday will bring out. I don’t need anything intense as far as laptops go. ---
