My laptop is falling apart again. I had to buy a new battery at the beginning of the year, then the HDD failed so I replaced it, the hinges fell apart and the power adapter socket was getting temermental. Got all this fixed by a computer specialist, he warned me that it would not last forever. It is a Compaq Presario 705, it is about a 1GB, 256MB and 40GB HDD with 14" screen and CD-RW/DVD. Anybody know what it might be worth on ebay?
My main point is what brand of laptop would you recommend? I use it mostly for internet and email, spreadsheets and the odd bit of graphics but nothing too demanding. I want a laptop with a 15" screen and most importantly to be strong and well made so that it will last.
A friend has a Toshiba but the sound quality is very very bad, I like the Compaq but worry that it is not that well made. I have seen some nice laptops by Acer, are they any good?
Thanks for your help.
