I've had a college assigned Lenovo for the past 5 years, it's about the 5 year anniversary now, and it is breaking down from extremely heavy use. My keyboard is shoddy, the DVD drive is faulty as sin, the harddrive is going, the screen has a chip in it, and now the battery life no longer holds a 40% or better charge. While it still works just fine, I think it's time to format and retire this as a backup for the family and just get me something acceptable.
Who knows of good online deals regarding laptops? I'm not much of a gamer outside of the console realm so I really only need something that is better than this. This ancient SOB has done me well, with 2 gigs of DDR2 memory, a dual core processor (im sure its old, the model of this lenovo is t60) and an ancient video card.
Advice is awesome, I'd prefer the cheaper the better because it really only is for household internet browsing, the occasional writing assignment and maybe some emulating.
