I've owned my Toshiba Satellite M100 laptop for 6 years now and it has not had one single problem. This thing never gets switched off and is on 24/7 downloading music, games, and movies. I highly recommend them and i'll be buying another Toshiba once this one becomes unusable, which may not be for a while.

These days you can buy a decent laptop for under $600 with enough memory, hard drive space, graphic and processing power to cover all your needs. You only need to spend more than that if you will be using your laptop for movie editing or hardcore gaming.
