My Toshiba is going on about 5 years strong now. I think that's probably pretty good for a laptop.
I don't know if people are acting like PC experts or are they completely retarded.
Toshiba 9 votes ? Where do you live people under a rock ? Unless you want a notebook that is for one use only do not buy Toshiba. Hp has lots of problems too, at least around my are since I repair them A LOT !
Lenovo and Acer is a reasonable laptop and external HDD is plugged into a USB port which every single machine in the world has.
I have a Sony Vaio with 8gb RAM and an SSD HD and it's fucking awesome. Windows 7 64-bit also.
i agree with scooternyne on this one. Acers and toshibas are both good computers for the money.
My toshiba is going on 2 years and still works great, even after dropping it a few times (twice while open).
i did have it crash on me once, about 4 months after i got it, but the toshiba guys told me my model had a problem in the software. i bought an upgraded system restore disk and its been working perfectly since.
also, make sure you get a case with good padding, cause the screens are rather thin and can get distorted easily if a textbook or something heavy pushes against the back of the screen.
i dont know much about acers, except that my friends is 4 years old and still works.
Toshiba or Asus is your best bet for a laptop. Though I ditched my laptop for a desktop recently. Much cheaper and as new tech comes out I can upgrade easily without buying a whole new system. But if you have to go with a laptop or just prefer to, Toshiba and Asus.
Toshiba seems the go. My mom told me her Toshiba is 6 years old and she has never had a problem with it.
