Laptops

My current laptop (which is my second one ever) is about to explode.

Literally.

The (OS) C:// drive is so full that my laptop has started to lock up its programs.

I guess I can't complain, really. I paid $400 for my current cherry red Dell Inspiron 14z before junior year of college, following a tragic and unexpected death of my very first laptop (RIP, 1430). I shelled out the $400, promising myself that I would be pleased if this little guy could last me through college. Which it has, if but just barely.

I guess it's time to start looking for a new laptop again.

This does not excite me.

Blogosphere, this is stressful! All I really want from a laptop is for it to be solid, thin/light, affordable, good-looking, have high-speed performance, have unlimited memory space (I shake my fist at you, 14z!) and for it to last forever.

I made a list of all the laptop brands I could think of, knowing that there were plenty that I missed, but didn't bother to look up. Then I started to cross them out. I have chosen the process of elimination as my weapon of choice.

I have crossed out two so far:

Apple (not affordable)
Dell (don't last forever)
Acer
Asus
Sony
Toshiba
Lenovo
HP
Samsung (do they make laptops?)

Ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuude.

Let me know if you have any good suggestions.

I want my next laptop to elicit a celebration from me:

  1. oh.. c'mon bcl.. you know you want that macbook pro... :)

    did i tell you that i recently converted? yepp.. a mac user now.. for now...

    and i'd recommend lenovo. nothing lasts forever (except jesus!), but I've heard really good things about it. lenovo is pretty top of the line for a PC too.

  2. So far I'm really happy with my HP. Rob does buttloads of research before buying something, so I'd say it's probably a really safe bet. Mine is the HP Pavilion g6 (haha! Like a g6...) You'll find something you love!
