Asus laptop

While we're on the subject I recommend an ASUS wireless router the next time you need one. Sorry, I know you asked about laptops but I bought one when I started having problems with my Linksys router and it's the best router I've ever had.
I bought an ASUS laptop for my daughter for college. I've never touched it but she loves it.

Thanks lovedays,I do need a new router.

Asus is good, there are other brands I like as well, I have a Sager, like it.
I would get an Intel processor, preferable an Intel Series 7. Depends what you are using it for but I like a Terabyte of storage, 8 Gb of Random Memory and if you are older (like me) you might like the 17" display, also lots of USB connections like 4 or more.
Try to get the seller to include office in there if you can.
Good luck!

Asus has a great reputation. I've owned several of their motherboards over the decades. They've been good. I also have one of those EeePC netbooks that has been very reliable. But...

I recently recommended one to my brother who reported back that the case was very flimsy and consequently he's been getting errors. He returned it. I just bought one of their cheaper models and it goes into sleep mode if I rest my left wrist on it while typing. Once again a flimsy case. Mine is in for warranty repair right now. That said, I have a year old high end Asus at work that has been flawless. It's been a great computer. I've also read various reports about Asus recently having quality issues. This may be one of those "You get what you pay for" things.
