I'm in the market for a laptop a few guys @ my job recommend Toshiba... obviously I'll be doing some research of my own but, I was looking for a little direction =)
toshiba is great with repairs, should they need repairs. also they pay for 2 day shipping. i process them all the time. they're good with that stuff.
We just got a new toshiba from www.tigerdirect.com. It was refurbished, so we had a few issues, but the warranty covered everything. Admittedly, it was a little bit of a hassle, but it was literally $1,000 less than book value. If you want to be frugal, refurb from that site is a good way to go.
Toshiba is the worst for technical support in my opinion... but if that doesnt bother you, they build sturdy laptops. Personally, i like dells and Ibms
I concur. Definitely make sure there's an authorized toshiba repair shop nearby or you'll start to hate yourself if there's a problem.
Hmmm... the two guys I talked to actually said "Dells are crap." I can't say one way or the other but, I was looking into Dell before this whole Toshiba thing + the company is somehow tied to Dell so we get a discount. I think warranty came under fire or repairs...
