Please rec. your laptop
We're looking for a new (affordable) laptop, we mainly use it for the internet and storing pictures - any suggestions of what to look for would be great!
TIA!
Re: Please rec. your laptop
We just researched a lot, and ended up with a Dell.I also use a Dell at work and like that one as well. We ordered it online from the Dell site so that we could get the features we wanted (and not pay for ones we didn't)- it was so easy to customize our laptop.
A week later it was at our door. We love it.
DH used to have Dells all the time and then he had some really awful experiences with the company, and I know a lot of other people who did too (like Dar). I have an ASUS, it is skinny and light, and I really like it. I forget what DH got but he is a "I'll never buy a Dell again" person, and he works in computers.

me, too.
For Windows, my computer-geek H would recommend Acer for quality for the price.
Thanks girls!
We have an HP right now, and we have had so many problems with it - the wireless doesn't work (I guess a common problem w/ the motherboard), the hinge on the monitor is broken, and the battery is beyond dead. I think it has like, a 20 minute window on it.
DON'T BUY A DELL! I've had nothing but problems. I spent over 2K on my laptop and get everything top of the line, blu ray and everything and it sucks. I've had to take everything off and reinstall is because the OS was corrupt and it still doesn't work right. I had to upgrade my OS because of it to windows 7 and they made me pay for it. Plus I had to pay for customer service on the OS because it's not covered under their warranty. I was on the phone for DAYS, literally, with them trying to fix an 8 month old laptop. Now I have windows 7 and I've spent over a month trying to get dell to install it on the computer. I've called numerous times and left messages because they are always in a meeting. I still have the corrupt OS on my computer and I've had it with dell. If I could afford another computer I would get one but this one is only a year old.
Another vote for Mac. I used PC's my whole life and was converted by DH. The graphics, operating system, reliability are all better than any pc i've had. They are pricey, but so worth it. The power book we have now is almost 6 years old, runs perfectly, never an issue, tons of memory, can't get viruses, yada yada. I think you could go cheaper for a pc but it won't last nearly as long or be half as nice IMHO.
