    I bought a Toshiba laptop earlier this year for around $750. It's a good, solid and reliable little laptop, without the expense of the bigger brand names.

        Toshiba sounds good appreciate the reviews.

        This hard-drive business is worrisome, is this how all
        laptops are made, with a re manufactured hard-drive.

        I've had my desktop for more than 3 years windows xp
        security pack 2, no problems.

        I'm moving to China, so I thought it would be good to get a laptop
        instead of carrying the desktop with me, maybe I should bring it,
        plus get an external drive as a backup in case the airport has some
        weird new rule about computers.

        How long do laptop hard-drives normally last, having to transfer
        all your files and software to another re manufactured hard-drive every 12 months
        is annoying.

            I have a Dell, a Toshiba, an HP and a Mac, and out of all of them the Mac has easily been the most reliable. With both the Dell and the HP I have had to replace the hard drive. I have actually replaced the Dell drive twice, the second time with a Toshiba drive The Toshiba has been solid on the hardware front, but the software and drivers have been nothing trouble since day one. The Mac on the other hand has had no hardware issues, no software issues and has worked very well for me for the last year and a half. I run Boot Camp on the Mac so I have both Windows and Mac OSs. Unless you have something very specific you need a PC for, I'd go with a Mac.

    I bought my Compaq Presario C700 series for just under $700. I love it. It does "office" jobs pretty well but don't expect to play high ends games on it.

      If you find a brand that you like you might want to check out www.tigerdirect.com. I have purchased one Lenovo and one Acer laptop from this company and have been happy with the price, customer service and delivery time.
