I seem to remember a thread of this topic awhile back, but didn't see it here or in the archives.

I'm seriously considering buying a laptop for personal use and wonder if those of you who have them can tell me what you like/don't like about yours, so I have some extra info to consider when choosing.

I've been using a Gateway Solo at work for 2 years, but now I'm through with that job and have to give it back. I liked the Solo very much--I like the touchpad feature, too.

I "speak " MAC, having had one as my first computer, but am not sure if I want to go that route for a laptop.

Any recommendations or warnings about laptops from you kind folks at TVCH would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! :)

I seem to remember on thread on this too, not so long ago. I did a search but couldn't find it.

I just started looking into laptops. So far, I'm leaning toward a MAC.
I'm looking for EASY, fast and reliable and the latest technology.
I would appriciate any input, also. ~any and all opinions welcome!~

This is great, Webkitty! Maybe we could get waterproof ones to use while we are losing weight and getting tan at the beach with Teatime! LOL

BabyRuth,

I love my Titanium PowerBook (Mac)...fast, sleek, BIG screen, under 5 pounds so I take it everywhere. Also a 5 hour battery that really is almost 5 hours so sometimes I don't have to take my power cord to work. It has WAY more technology than I need, but I DO write music so I need the graphic interface. I got one about a year ago, so mine has just a DVD drive. The newer ones are less expensive and have a combo DVD/CDRW drive.

It's not cheap, but it's a great machine...I've never bought a desktop, but I use my laptop as my main computer.

Babyruth, did you ever get a notebook?

My husband bought a Toshiba this year and he is very happy with it.

The DVD player just broke on it, and he called customer support. They didn't even bother to try to fix it over the phone. They overnighted the packing box to him so he could pack it up and send it to them to fix. He is so happy about it. (Compared to the hours we've spent online with dell just waiting for someone to pick up the phone, and then the hours as they try to fix it but can't.)
