ParticipantAecetia: I picked up a refurb HP from HP.com (you go to refurbished/overstock/clearance tab on the website).
I paid about $1,400 all in for about $2,600 worth of stuff (they threw in a 3 year warranty, two travel batteries, lock, laptop case and docking station as part of the deal). I mention the pricing because you can save pretty big on their refurb line of products and it’s backed by a 3 year warranty (bumper to bumper coverage).
I’ve had the machine about a year and it functions flawlessly, which is typical of HP products.
I also have a Dell Precision M90 (the laptop that the HP replaced) and it was a piece of junk. Keyboard went first, followed by CD/DVD drive and the hard drive started persistently overheating. I would not recommend Dell under any circumstances, since this is the third Dell that has crapped out on me.
Having worked at Apple way back when (1982), I love their stuff, but it’s pricey and it does create the “culture dependency” that Nost mentioned. Beautiful design and engineering, though.

BTW, that cat joke was just plain wrong. Funny, but wrong. You’re probably on the SPCA’s Ten Most Wanted List, aren’t you?

Pablo propbably got hung up buying beer, chips and Snausages.
Sheesh. What are we going to do now that marion is gone?
Hey! I have an idea. We can actually discuss the topic like adults. No, that would never work… would it?
