Reasonable, dependable laptops?

Can you suggest yours?

My mom has been hinting forever..and I thought me, my sister and brother can chip in for Mother's Day. Any suggestions?

Re: Reasonable, dependable laptops?

As for brand I have a Compaq (which is owned by HP) and I love it.

I got mine at Best Buy and usually they have great deals in store and online.

I also recommend it because of the customer serivce aspect of it as well.

Dell and Acers aren't all that bad as well.

I had a Dell, I had an Hp, I had an Acer, and now I have a mac book and nothing compares to the Mac IMHO! But next to that was my HP!!! That baby is still a fighter.

I love my Asus. My DH got it at Best Buy. He was advised by a computer geek friend that they are excellent computers and very popular overseas. Click Here

If you're not getting a Mac, get an HP.

Re: Reasonable, dependable laptops?

I also recommend the Compaq if you are looking for something inexpensive and dependable. This is what I have now. I can't remember how much I paid for it but it was under $500.00 because I am cheap and on a budget.

Never had any issues and I've had it for about a year at this point.

I've also had HP and Dell in the past that died after several years and they weren't worthwhile to get fixed.

I got an HP Pavilion (dv6 serie) last Christmas. I just could not pay for the mac. It's a good laptop.

It was very reasonable!

i like dell and sony because you can get accident coverage and if kids around them it can make them last a lot longer
- no worries if dropped, banged on, juice spilled on them
