    Question Need advice for a new laptop!

    So, some retard put a chair on my laptop and this happened...


    So I need a suggestion for a new laptop. No Macs, nothing over $1k, nothing pink. It's not needed for any professional work purposes, no major media editing or gaming, just a recreational laptop that won't get on my nerves.
    Anybody got something they're really happy with? I don't want something that breaks frequently, or pisses people off a lot.

    I've been brushing my teeth with jack but it's resulted in terrible amounts of tooth decay.

    Wow, that sucks! I have a Dell, hasn't given me any problems in 5 years. I dropped something on the keyboard once and broke off the tab key. Dell sells replacement parts so I ordered a new keyboard, got it in 4 days and easily changed it. Been happy with it overall.

    also have a Dell, had it about 5-6 years. Been a great laptop, good for what it is. They do make a small Dell I believe that is pretty small and compact. If you go with Dell, when you cl to order, make sure you get free **** added in. The call centre is in India and they work off of commission. Some of them are stingy and ********, find out what exactly you want and keep calling and requesting it. Eventually one of them will bargain with you

    Just spend the money on a mac... Like how much money does your car suck out of your pocket and you won't buy a decent computer?
    Just my two cents. I'll never buy a PC again.
    Dang! You got shocks, pegs... Lucky! You ever take it off any sweet jumps?

    Get a ASUS laptop from Costco, 90 day return policy, and 2 year INSTORE WARRANTY. They can be had for less then 800 bucks.
