So dumb question for you (or anyone) - does brand matter much when picking out a laptop? Or does it really come down to the individual components?

If you're looking to turk on a laptop - you really want a performance laptop. You want one with a decent amount of RAM and a great CPU <both of these help with speed (web pages loading, closing, shifting between tabs, etc). I prefer HP, and they always have some great deals - there's a few under $400 right now. We have been buying from them for the past 8ish yrs now. Their warranties are great as well Good luck finding a lappy!

I mean, most of them have all their crap they stuff on them. I know Dell does too. I don't typically buy brand new so it's always been wiped and doesn't have all the crap to remove.

That's helpful, like why does every computer have Mcafee on it? that is a terrible program.

My husband builds computers and keeps me in desktops (which is a good thing because I have no idea what I'm doing with that kind of stuff). Laptops are nice when you're spending long weekends at your in-laws

today is a total snail day, is it just me? Maybe spring break started early for some?

It was worse back in the stone age, I lost a computer to Norton Extraction. Bought at BB, they tried to help, screwed it up even more, refunded my money and I never looked back.

I would love a desktop, but my kid wouldn't leave the screen alone. Laptops are safer in my house lol

Lol seriously. The worst program to uninstall too.

Build a desktop, f**k laptops.

I don't build but the one I bought that was custom built itself would probably run 1000 if it was a name brand with monitor and shit. I already had all the rest laying around, so I typically just buy custom towers. Get amazing specs for cheap prices because all the other crap is already laying around.

That's best case scenario ... but not everyone has that option LoL

Sometimes I sit on the couch turking with my laptop running team viewer ... while my desktop is running PC/HC

the 2 times I left Norton on a computer it screwed up the whole thing and it was a long process to fix it. I uninstall it straight out of the box now.

Spyware, norton too.

Kinda partial to Dell. Was turking on a really old inspiron with minor problems for years. Was easy to upgrade the cpu and HD.

Got a newer inspiron i5755 with 6gb and I have no complaints

+1 for DELL they are workhorses
