    Good Laptop to Buy for general use?

    Whats a good stable laptop to buy for 1000-1500 pounds? (Roughly $1500 - $2000). Low maintainance, good battery life, nice screen etc. NOT graphics or video use, just doing word files, emails, accounts etc. Purchasing in the UK.

        I suggest not buying a Dell, i've seen three of them dying in less then a year. Btw. that three were diffrent models. I guess they all suck.

            I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
            I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                        TOSHIBA.

                        I have an old Toshiba Tecra that I had running non-stop for 6 years.

                        The newer versions are just as reliable.

                        Gotta get that extra warranty stuff though as they can be bitchy when you want tech support.

                                              Go for the Toshiba, very solid laptops and the warrantee service is outstanding.

                                                            If you are running windows buy a Dell and buy their top support pacjage. 3 years next day anyplace in the world even if you drop it.

                                                            Otherwise buy an Apple.
