I am looking to purchase a new laptop for while im at work and was wondering if you guys could help out as I dont usually keep up with the whole laptop scene as far as brands, reliability,etc.
Any suggestions,input,etc is much appreciated.
I dont really have a budget/limit of how much to spend although something in the $1500 or less range would be nice. If what I want cannot be had for that price, or something has features that I like for more than no big deal.
The MAIN need is reliability. I cannot be updating drivers twice a week trying to fix bs issues as I am limited to a connection that is probably the equivelent of 56k. Along with hardware reliablility. If something breaks there is no way to fix it, get replacement parts, etc, until I am back home.
As far as features/options. Nothing in particular just needs the stuff that id imagine most would have now days. Built in wireless/wifi and ethernet, blue ray player, webcam, and thats all I can think of.
I was thinking a mac book air, higher end asus thats geared more towards gaming (forget the name), or another typical off the shelf one which I would swap out the hdd for a ssd and fresh win 7 install.
