Laptop

[Marigold2]

I have decided to buy myself a laptop. Our computer is rather old and hubby is always on it. Any advice from laptop owners would be greatly appreciated.

I have an IBM thinkpad currently. It doesn't handle super large files (One, for example, would not be able to play a space consuming game) but it is definitely reliable for every day use. PTs own DJ Fyrewolf builds and sells computers, she'd be a great person to ask!

Make sure you get a high speed. I bought both a desktop and a laptop 3 years back. Goofed and the laptop is S O S L O W.

You might want to get you a mouse to attach to it too. Sometime the touchpads can be very sensitive. Before we got a mouse for ours, I always ended up clicking on the wrong things

I had a Toshiba I bought in the late 90's and far as I know, it is still up and running, it was so good that I bought another one and have been really pleased with it. I just use it to take to the boat with me, don't use it when I am home. I found the touch pad waaaaaaay to sensitive so I bought a mini mouse to use with it and that works out wonderfully for me.

Toshiba's customer service STINKS. When the AC/DC adapter went bad on my 3 MO laptop, they wanted to put a $40 (I think) charge on a credit card to send me a new one under the warranty! 2 weeks later they wanted me to send the WHOLE computer back for a new adapter. I refused, told them I'd NEVER buy Toshiba again, ordered an adapter from eBay, and was back on the air 2 days later. Toshiba!!!!
