Since we're on the topic, when getting laptops, I can easily identify the
"specs" I need. But I am totally lost as to which brand I should be getting!
I just have no idea about the quality of Dell vs HP vs Acer ... blah. I end
up getting a toshiba, just because my previous one was a toshiba as well!
Is there some website/database, that provides statistical data about the
reliability and/or performance of similarly spec'ed different brands of
laptops? So I can have a good estimation of which brand is the current king
