Hi, Evan. I've also had good luck with Dells, though you pay more
for premium support and warranties. However, it's worth it,
especially when they send someone out within 24 hours.--Matthew Chao

Hmmm, well, I guess that just goes to show how different points of
view can be. I'm on my second Dell laptop, which I bought in April
of 2014. I just got the microphone replaced, (having bought premium
support), and it wasn't nearly the hassle I thought it would be to
get them to send someone out). The previous Dell laptop, I bought in
July 2008, and it still works. I used it nearly every day for three
months short of six years, and never had to get it serviced.
So, I guess you could say that I've been very happy with Dell
laptops for the last over seven years.

Subject: RE: need laptop suggestions
Jed, laptop suggestions can be a hit and miss! For instance, I won't touch
a Dell laptop with a ten-foot pole! I don't like proprietary stuff too
much.
I do like Toshiba, Sony (this one can be pricey because of its name), Asus
and Acer.
I don't like HP and I frankly believe that the strength of the company is in
the production of printers! I do have a three-year-old Sony laptop which
runs Windows7 64Bit Professional; It is a refurbished one, the last one on
display when I picked it up. As such, I was able to negotiate my own price
down to what I felt comfortable with before making the purchase.
As a general rule, I don't buy brand-new laptops; I ask for refurbished
ones, carefully examine the specs and even play with the machine before
making a decision. I don't buy new because they go obsolete so fast!
Moreover, the refurbished ones I buy had been previously leased out to
corporations that were just returning them for upgrades. Their hard drives
are reformatted, new OS installed, and then sold for a lot less after the
seller has made tons of pennies from the lease.
Sincerely,
Olusegun
