Buying a lap top - any suggestions?

[happylabs]

My 5 year old Dell is dying. The antivirus program disappeared two nights ago and there are many other issues.

I am going to go shopping for a laptop this weekend. Any ideas or suggestions on what I should purchase?

I would get a Mac, of course! They seem to last a lot longer than PC's.

I would check out this site, they tend to have really great deals on computers and other things

I had to take a client's laptop to a laptop specialty place in Calgary. Because I get asked this question a lot, I asked my tech, Luc, what he recommended.

He said to get a Toshiba Targus. He said they aren't pretty, but they are built to last!
I would think a refurbished one would be ok too.

ETA: Perhaps you could look at just getting a new hard drive for your Dell and getting your files transferred over? Or get your OS (Windows or etc) reinstalled.

My next is a Mac! I would like to change it up a little this time around. I also own a Dell laptop and it's starting to fall apart - it's about the same age as yours.
