    Need a New laptop...suggestions?

    Last laptop broke...thank you Acer...need a new one, 5 main spec's below

    1 = 10-key key-pad...I do A LOT of work in PPT and especially Excel
    2 = durable...job requires a lot of mobility, so it needs to be able to keep up
    3 = SSD/hybrid drive
    4 = NOT Acer...that was the last one, don't need that headache again
    5 = bought from Best Buy...they gave me in-store credit, wouldn't give me a full refund.

    Thanks!

    Dom

    Hi,

    No doubt everyone has their favourites but I've always stuck with Dell. Current one is an Inspiron 15R bought 3 months ago.

    I think it may have been discontinued now although I did hear that they would still build them on request. The latest seems to be Inspiron 17.

    Hi,

    Just had a quick check on Dell's site and I don't believe it has a SDD drive, rather a 'normal' HDD.

    haha Richard, you had me doubting my sanity (even more than usual lol), I knew I replied to this, but could not find it - then saw you closed the other 1 as a dupluicate.

    I am not a laptop fan (neve5r have been), but I AM an HP fan, take a look at what they have to offer

    I'm using a Surface Pro 2 for my desktop replacement. It has a SDD drive... I have a slick wireless keyboard that has 10 key functions on it.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
