Folks looking to buy a new laptop, I've heard HP are the way to go especially with an I5 chip. Anyone support this or what would the reccommendations be??

How much or how little do you wish to spend
Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe
Abigail i reemember posting on a thread you had started about Chrome books, i'm actually looking at a few HP laptops, few in mind. Just wondered if anyone had any reccommendations for an all rounder ....
I went for the Lenovo G580 in the end, and I wish I'd chosen something else. It's slow, doesn't autoplay discs and USBs and it freezes randomly. For a laptop with 6gb RAM, its slow to start up (at least 30 seconds) and it takes ages to open a program. Last night I had Chrome running, just general websites, no videos or downloads, and it took ten minutes to open VLC media player. I closed the program several times through the task manager and then put the disc back in the drive. It wouldn't even register the disc.
I've got a HP printer and that comes with a load of headaches trying to get it to work. I usually stick to Samsung or Toshiba for laptops, never had any problems with those. The Toshiba Satellite Pro range is excellent. My last two laptops were Satellite Pros and I had no problems with them. Lasted for 2-3 years each. Good all-rounders. Very resilient (I'm the person who is constantly spilling drinks on electricals) and easy to use
Thanks CrazyLea
