I haven't seen Toshiba mentioned in here. I have been running Toshiba's for the better part of a decade, and they have never let me down aside from 1 hard drive failure that was probably my fault anyway. I had 1 HP laptop in there that was literally the worst computer I have ever owned, I literally copied the Hard drive over to an external, destroyed the old drive, took out the ram and threw the rest of it away. I will never ever own another piece of HP hardware again after the crap that thing put me through. I just replaced it with this:

This is what I am running now, I picked it up a couple months ago for $750 at London Drugs. For the money, the specs are pretty decent. What I have always liked about Toshiba, is their tank like build... but they definitely aren't the "sleekest" machines you'll find. But I guess suppose that's the trade off with with the cute pretty machines. And something built to last. So far it has performed flawlessly. A little on the big side, but I rarely tote it around outside of the office to the couch.
