I had a Dell and switched this year to a Toshiba Satellite l750, with i5 processor etc. I am sorry I did, the Toshiba despite it's far great" power" is slow. I'm not much go on the keyboard either which is kinda slippy and easy to mistype on. It has a whole heap of standard extras which I never use and disabled to increase speed. Do an internet search for the brand and type and see what comes up. I did this after, I should have done it before! Don't get me wrong, the Tosh isn't crap, but I think there are far better laptops.
