I agree with Tom1:

Quote:

The generally annoying thing with notebooks is that the touchpad tends to pick up tracking from the palm and cause the caret to jump off the line you're typing, consequently messing up the text

Somebody recommended Toshiba? Never, ever again! I had one that needed its cooler replaced twice a year!

Be careful when buying DELL, too! Some models come with a ROM line memory embedded in the power source adapter, which sends a signal to your motherboard indicating it's an original Dell part, under the excuses that this is to make sure you use only DELL adapters, for the sake of the integrity of your own notebook "of course!", if you grasp the irony. So far so good, if it weren't for the fact that that memory chip fries about every half an year of fair use, your notebook consequently does not recognize the adapter as a legitimate Dell power source and the only solution is to buy another brand new Dell adapter, or your notebook battery will never recharge again!

Mirek's HP seems all right. I've had one and no complaints.
