I'm still using the 1st laptop that I've ever owned. Before this I was stuck to the table with a desktop. I liked the fact that j could take it apart and upgrade it and mod it as I liked. As I matured I realized that a good laptop that lasts a good 2-3 years is what I need.
It was 3 years ago in 2006 when I was in Boston that I made my big investment. My budget was about 1000-1200$ and my options were a Hp tx1000 tablet Pc, a fancy but ugly Dell or the MacBook pro , which at that that time also looked dull. Me being the tech addict I am couldn't say no to a touch screen and went for the Hp. It's some thing I regret now. It was perfect for about a year, other than the over heating. After that it was more a hand warmer than a laptop... And now it runs so hot that it shuts off and even the video card melts off causing the thing to go blank. Wht I leaned from this was that I should have looked in to the build quality and Clint care of the company. Hp care was terrible, they still don't admit that there was a defect, even after 100s I'd not 1000s of people have complained to them about it.
So right now, I'm in the market fkr a new laptop. The contenders are the Dell studio 15, the Dell xps studio 13, MacBook pro 13", Sony vaio NS, and the acer timeline. I don't want to spend too much on it coz I know I'll want to replace it just a few months down te line, and I'll regret it of I spent too much.
I've decided to wait for a few weeks till windows 7 settles in and I can read some reviews on it and the manufactures launch some new machines for Christmas. The rumors of apple prepping a new range of macs is also quite tempting me to wait.
I'm going to stop now coz finally my turn has arrived at the barber.
