I bought a Dell two years ago. Very economic and with the features that I wanted.

Yet, I am a little bit dissapointed with the general quality of the hardware. The keyboard has had problems (some keys would stop working) and the batery went bad a few months after I got it. They've fixed (free and in a timely fashion) all these problems while the laptop was in warranty. Yet, I wish I hadn't had those problems to begin with.


>I have at work a SONY VAIO GRV550 laptop, which I like, but it is the business'. I am thinking about buying my own personal laptop and am wondering what the best one would be? The Sony laptop doesn't seem to read some CD's. We took it to a client and it could see nothing. We put the CD on another machine and it saw everything. I can't have a Notebook that is unreliable like the SONY was. Anyone got any ideas. How about the DELL Inspiron? Is that the best as far as reliability?
