Any thoughts on the Sony Vaios - or Asus? Online reviews are scaring me away from the Thinkpads...and previous experience with Dell makes me wary.

You got a $269 machine - 18 - 24 months is about what I would expect from that. You're trying to drive across the country with a bicycle and you need a car. If you want something reliable & long...

Not sure where the hate is coming from, or the implication of a $269 price point for this laptop. My post clearly stated (see my previous post if you don't believe me): "Regarding budget I'd like...

$1k is a very workable budget. Have a look at a Thinkpad T440p or T540p from the Lenovo Outlet If you're opposed to Lenovo in general, there's a sale going on in the Dell Outlet:...

If you're going for a grand, I recommend a mac. You can even install windows on it for all your windows applications. You can save on tax by buying it through a retailer that doesn't charge tax in...

Really digging the Lenovo Y500. Windows 8 took some getting used to, but after the learning curve it's working great. Thanks for everyone's help.

Thanks for the responses so far. Regarding budget I'd like to stick to around $1000, but could go more for the right model. Will definitely check out the Thinkpads and others recommended. Any...

Totally depends on your budget, but best brands in terms of longevity & durability are: 1. Thinkpad T or X series 2. Dell Latitude E6xxx series 3. HP Elitebook series 4. Everything else
