Go up one level in this thread


My corporation buys Gateway or Toshiba laptops and has no problems with them.  I
would advise against buying consumer-oriented laptops, since those are sometimes
built to much less exacting standards and getting service can be more difficult.
 Whatever brand you get, however, there is always the possibility you can get an
exceptionally good or bad example, so there are no guarantees.  Electronic
equipment does sometimes break, so part of the deal is to ensure you can get
service quickly and cheaply on the machine.
