Need advice on buying a new laptop?

My 5 year old Emachines is acting up and I was told by PC repairman just wasn't worth fixing. He suggested that if I buy a new laptop I should go with either Fujitsu or Lenovo (apparently these are built the best and most reliable according to him) He also said that anything built by HP, Emachines or gateway were not dependable. I'm looking to spend around $1,000 but would be interested in a more expensive model if it really had great quality. I'll be using the laptop primarily for law school, but I am a gamer so a laptop that takes that into account would be nice too.





From what I've said above what laptop would you suggest.Need advice on buying a new laptop?
You can't go wrong and I recommend Dell! There are hidden long-run costs that one does not initially see when you purchase a Notebook PC other than Dell, HP or IBM and later encounter difficulties or attempt buying replacement parts like a battery, or say a keyboard etc.





We own 3 Dell Notebook PCs and why I recommend DELL, HP or IBM for those living in the United States is that those 3 particular PC Notebook manufacturers literally supply all the business Notebook PCs to the major corporations and Government so replacement parts are readily available esp on EBAY at even a more reasonable price than the manufacturer website. Thus in the long run, being able to get the exact replacement part extends the life on your investment.





FYI my 1st Notebook PC was Gateway bec I couldn't afford Dell at the time and what a mistake is was when I needed to purchase a new Notebook battery %26lt;= costly bec not readily available like Dells... and FYI I also ran into a similar problem when attempting to upgrade the memory.

You really need to look at the components inside the laptop before juding a laptop ont he brand name. I would go with Lenova over Fujitsu, but Lenova can be pricey. Have you considered Toshiba or Sony? I had a Sony Vaio laptop that was a work horse. It handled anything I threw at it. I sold it and switch to Apple but I have no regrets with the Sony line.
