MBWC41 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I've had a Toshiba Satellite for 5 or 6 years now and I'm looking to replace it. I use a laptop for web browsing and movie streaming. That's it. Not interested in an Apple. I know they make a superior product but I like new things. I'd rather replace a $500 dollar laptop every 3-5 years than have a $1200 apple for 10 plus years. Screen size and quality are important. Would like something around a 17 inch screen. Looking to spend $400 to $500. Any suggestions ?

thehotsnakes Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Not making a joke, but, why not a Toshiba Satellite? I replaced a Satellite with a new model Satellite after 5 years. And I just replaced that one with a new one this year. I know there are better products on the market, but I think it's probably the best for the money. But if you're just using it for internet and video, a tablet wouldn't be a bad bet.
98NCCalum Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I have had a Satellite in the past as well and loved it. Very solid machine.
MBWC41 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Posted February 23, 2015 Open to a refurb? Yes, as long as it's factory refurbished.

I prefer the feel of a laptop. I'm open to buying another Toshiba. My current one could probably last another year or two, just looking for something new.
SportsGuy41017 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I just bought my third Satellite a couple of months ago, 17" something screen, Skullcady sound is really good.
Bert Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 But if you're just using it for internet and video, a tablet wouldn't be a bad bet. I am trying to decide between a tablet or a laptop. May start a thread about that.
Bert Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Open to a refurb? What is a good site to look those up?

98NCCalum Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Buy a Dell.Same as with Dell, HP, or any other manufacturer. They all make a good line of PC's/laptops, and they all make junk to sell in Best Buy for next to nothing. With PC's ALMOST always, the old adage runs true, you get what you pay for.
Kentonman Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Dell has a good outlet site but you must be prepared to buy as they usually go quickly from the site.
