Martha said:I am reviving this discussion on laptops to try to get a bit more information. I had all sorts of problems with my year old work HP on vacation. It is out of warranty. Because of the cost to repair, our computer person at work wants to get me a new computer. She said she planned to replace with another HP with a three year warranty. I told her I wasn't thrilled with the HP and it never seemed as capable as advertised. For example, it is slow when using digital dictation.
So, any recommendations I could pass along to her? She is willing to consider other options. I need a durable and speedy machine. Lightweight would be nice, but not a necessity. Storage isn't a big deal; most of the time I am on my firm's network. Cost should be no more than $1500-$1700.
