Laptop Crisis!

Laptops are the bane of my existence. And yet, I crave them.

[livejournal.com profile] refracting recommended a Vaio like this.
[livejournal.com profile] maladaptive recommended this Dell.
[livejournal.com profile] madfnorder recommended the third-party WidowPC.

I do not want to spend more than $1800 on a laptop.
I'll want to buy it over the weekend. It's a sales-tax free holiday weekend, so I'll pay no sales tax, la~

What do you think?

[Poll #790003]

If you have any nightmare stories about how Dell sent out a crew to repair your laptop and they used your drapes for handkerchiefs and ate your kitten, please share them. If you have any glowing praises about how a Vaio laptop rescued your neighbor's children from a burning building, please share them! You can also share if you want to tell me that Totally Random Computers makes a wonderful laptop that actually runs, has decent battery life, and doesn't burst into flames like my HP laptop did.

Just don't tell me about Macs.

My Mac is fantastico!

My experience with Dells has not been great. It seems like they garner problems and spyware, which I personally think is a pain to remove. Sometimes there have been random inexplicable issues popping up which I find confusing and distressing.

If you're going to go the non-Mac route, I think the Vaio would be the best to go for. From what I've seen when hanging out with Abby, it looks very shiny and reliable. So I'd go for that.

What happened to your Toshiba? XD
