About Lauren Bennett Expertise I am a computer science major and my dad is an Electric Engineering, so my life has revolved around computers. For as long as I can remember, I have been buying and selling computers. I tend to travel a lot, so I have always had a laptop. I have bought 5 of them for myself, and bought around 30-40 for friends and family. I have dealt with the good and the bad of various version and brand names. If you are in need of buying a laptop, feel free to contact me and I'm sure I will be able to guide you into purchasing the laptop that will be the best fit for you. I will custom build you computers for you to choose from so you can get an exact idea of what to go and buy when you do it yourself and so that you have an exact price. However, I am in the USA and am only knowledgeable about computers here in the US. I do not know about foreign currency or the quality of computer brand names outside the US.

Question Hello Mohammed, How does this pc stack up in terms of reliabilty,durability, etc.? The specs are; 1.8, 160gb 2048mb ram, 56k modem,802-11 wireless, 15.4 screen, Thanks, George
Answer I cannot make a determination based on reliability without knowing the warranty terms.
Also, is this an Intel or AMD processor? Dual core, core 2 duo, or single core?
Typically, Toshiba computers are nothing to get excited about. If you want a high quality computer, always go with Dell or HP. Dell is typically less expensive, has a better warranty, and is more up to date. However, HP is a good second option.
The other brand names are give or take. Sometimes you get a good one and sometimes you don't. They are smaller, not as well known, not as reputable, and don't sell nearly as many computers.
Also, I'd recommend getting N wireless to stay up to date as well as getting 667 Mhz RAM.
If you want to save money, you can get 1GB of RAM and upgrade yourself. Generally saves around $60.
Make sure to get a hardware warranty for preferably 4 years. It will save you a lot of $$ in the long run.
