What brand of laptop is good for home use?

modernlifeisrubbish: What brand of laptop is good for home use?
I am planning on buying a laptop but need some tips. The laptop would be used at home only (no office work). I am not using it for gaming but for music download etc. Anyone have any tips for a fairly good priced laptop that also performs well. (I know, there are so many of them, but was hoping to get some good pointers on here)

you say gaming..but what kind of games? internet games and solitaire then any basic laptop will do. Higher end games, then you are talking a completely different story.

I bought a Compaq a couple years back for around $ 600 I think. Mine only has a Celeron processor but for web surfing, and other basic tasks it is great. Came with built in wireless card and a DVD-ROM / CD-RW. I have had no problems so far.

Its sort of like asking what sort of tooth brush is good for you, it depends on what you want to do on it, how much you have to spend and how portable it really needs to be. Yes you can get very light weight laptops or ones that are heavy and are really made to be desktop replacements.

I personally have several, a Toshiba, an Acer, a Dell and an IBM and I like the Acer the best because it runs the best, it does everything without playing up and it has plenty of space and speed.

Personally I like Toshiba. I own a Toshiba laptop, has never broken down on me. Occasional software problem, no hardware problem at all.

My company provide Toshiba laptops for office uses too, the customer service and support are really good. Borken down laptops are always fixed by Toshiba.
