I need a laptop and I need advice. Help!

Oh get a Dell. My DH the super computer guy (network server architecture engineer or osmething like that) always recommends them and he also recommends looking at their refurbished ones-- they are usually a good deal. That is what I am using now. I had a HP before and I experienced a lot of problems with it, the hit sink didn't work right, etc. and it basically died on me slowly and best buy wasn't that helpful even with extended warrenty.

never mind, I see you already got it! As far as battery life goes you should be able to get extra batteries, again, look for refurbished ones. I have three batteries and together that gives me power for 7 hours (it can be a long day on campus).

Hey, that idea of getting spare batteries is a great idea. Thanks, Kyethra. What kind of HP did you have?

Dell all the way...I am using a Dell Inspiron as we speak. I bought in March and use it hours a day with no problem!

Peace Out!

I love my Sony Vaio. I've never had good experiences with Dell laptops, and their customer service sucks monkey balls. I've had misgivings about HP ever since they merged with Compaq because I used to have a Compaq desktop that completely died within 3 years of buying it (and I had to have the monitor replaced within a week because it just stopped working). All in all, though, if I was buying a new laptop today, I'd get another Vaio. I just love it.

If any of you are still looking for laptops check out the product specs for a computer or laptop magazine they usually have reviews with product specs and average prices and either hit up compusa they have a bunch of stores going out of business, or wait till september thats when computers go on sale end of august early september. Im a network admin so just some advice.
