Default Laptop brands ...

I have 3 brands to choose from..

Acer, Toshiba, and HP..

I'm prolly going to go with an I3 with 320-500G hard drive, 4Gram and Win7 Premium.

The computer is for work, word processing and all that.

Anyone care to weigh in on these 3 brands and share good / bad experiences?

Such a bad lineup...

I'd go Acer. It's the least rotten apple in the bunch.

Your HP will die in a year, and your Toshiba will have intermittent problems that will never get properly fixed ever.

From those brands, the only thing really reliable would be:
  • HP EliteBook
  • Toshiba Tecra

But something tells me that's out of your price range. Next best, on the consumer end of things (crapshoot, 2 years average reliability):
  • HP dv series
  • Toshiba Satellite

The community at NotebookReview can probably address your needs better than the posters of this forum.

I was thinking of a Satellite - I just need something to plug into the overhead to display lesson plans, watch movies on the ferry rides, and keep notes in Onenote - don't need to much power.. Battery Life might be important so I'm hoping to get about 3.5 hours or so on a 6 cell.

Thanks for hte feedback.
