[QUOTE="cosmictrucker, post: 766175, member: 442"] I'm one of those guys at work people come to with questions and help with their computers. I should make a business of it. :happy-very: I do it for the love of them. I'm a huge fan of Dell. I've had very good luck over the years. Not one has failed or let me down. ( I know my sampling is small compared to how many systems DELL makes, but it's still a positive record since the year 2002) I recommend checking out Dell's outlet store. I've purchased a number of laptops and monitors from there, and I've been pleased with each purchase. So have co-workers and friends. Here is a 20% off "code" you can use till 09-10-10 or until 10,000 uses of the code have been cashed in. Dell 20% off code [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]9RJ5SV0QB$$GTM[/B][B] Dell's outlet website... [/B][/FONT][/COLOR][URL]http://www.dell.com/us/en/dfh/notebooks/inspnnb/ct.aspx?refid=inspnnb&s=dfh&cs=22[/URL] I highly recommend you stay with an [I][B]Intel processor[/B][/I]. I know the AMD's are cheaper, but they are so for a reason. I've built a few AMD systems, and everyone had dependability issues. I've also worked a few Toshiba's with AMD, and they too had poor performance. If it's my money, I shy away from AMD. It's my personal experience, I'm sure there are those who've had very good luck, but it's not what I've seen. Acer is now the number 2 computer manufacture in the US market second to Dell. I like the Acer units I've worked on or used. HP also makes a fine computer, and has good backup and restore functions built in. Bottom line, DELL is still top of my list when shopping for a laptop. Especially when you score one of these 20% coupons. 10% or 15% is more common with Dell. Good luck in your search [/QUOTE]
