Laptop-Buying

Hi, Folks,

 

I am looking to buy a new laptop.  Does anyone have any recommendations on brands to buy, or a specific laptop you're using that you've been impressed/happy with?  Are there any laptops that users should avoid because of reliability or security issues?  If anyone has bought TOSHIBA Satellite C850-1LQ 15.6" Laptop, please let us know what you think about it.

 

Thanks!
