Searching for a good laptop for my son. Not looking for anything super fancy. I get lost in all the details. What do you see out there that would be a good buy?
@ILoveReading : you will want to look PAST all the bells and whistles on the laptop that you will buy. People tend to want fast processor, high RAM, big hard drive, etc...What you really want to know is does it have a good enough motherboard to handle all that horsepower.
Few years ago I bought a top of the line HP laptop for my wife and it burnt out dead after one year. I took it to my computer guru friend. He took it apart and to look and told me "your over a thousand dollar laptop with all this horsepower came with a cheapest cooling system and a $25 motherboard that could barely handle what were on it. It ran too hot and burnt out".
He told me to go with either Dell or Asus as they don't cut corner on motherboard like everyone else.
