Buying a new laptop

[Pompal 09.]

Had a dell for the last 4 years. What is new, best in the market now?.

Thanks gang, your info would be appreciated.

Toshiba I will never go back to a dell

i bought a refurb gateway and other than a few keyboard issues (i hate the layout of the left uppercase button) it's been fine.....

I see NO benefit of paying for a brand name like sony or ?? for thousands of dollars when a $325.00 asus or ?? will do just fine......

What is an Asus and how much KB + etc.. does it have?.

Tiger direct and ncix, Canada Computers all have stores in Toronto although TD and NCIX are all in the 'burbs.

TD has one right at hwy 7 and 400, just go west off the 400, first entrance to the right and you're there......

Canada Computers has a store on College just west of Spadina if you're right downtown and don't want to drive to the 'burbs.....

I think you mean gb, kb for memory or HDD space went out in the early 80s.....

My $349 gateway has 3 GB onboard memory and 340 gb HDD space. Plus it has a 15.6" LED edgelit LCD screen and HD audio which still sucks via the laptop speakers....no way you can get decent audio from 1/4" diameter speakers, no way no how lol....

I have a HP Pavilion 9700 notebook. Purchased it last year at Best Buy for about 800 bucks. It does the job for me.

This place here sells refurbished computers too. http://www.factorydirect.ca/static/index.htm

The ONLY problem with factory direct is if you have buyer's remorse after using something, there's no turning back/no refunds. Then if it breaks down, they'll send it out for repairs and it could be weeks before you get it back.

Buying a refurb from a more reputable place like Canada Computers or Tiger Direct is a better idea. I wouldn't buy anything over $100.00 from Factory Direct......

If possible I suggest you wait until late summer when there are back-to-school specials.

This morning I rec'd an email from Tiger Direct for $50.00 off this asus laptop....looks pretty decent and not a refurb either....
