    I'm looking for new laptops. One for the wife who mostly just surfs the web and watches netflix and one for myself which should be a decent dev machine (lots of ram, ssd etc).

    I've purchased 5 ASUS laptops (myself/friends/family) and they've all been good.

        Desktops don't travel well. That's why they [laptops] were invented :doh:

          Or do what I do and have an awesome desktop with a fairly cheap laptop. I remote in to the desktop from wherever I am at and do development that way. When I am at home in front of the desktop, I get my 4 1920x1080 monitors for doing a multimonitor app that we have, and on the road, I get access to it for its speed in building stuff. Best of both worlds......

            Get one with a battery and a monitor. Without those they aren't much use.

            Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost "All users always want Excel" --Ennis Lynch

              One of my many reasons why i don't like laptops :laugh: 1) you cannot hock up the 42 inch + tv on the second hdmi output together with the monitor in the first hdmi output 2)if your card goes to hell(damn you Sapphire) rarely you can change it in your laptop with fair price[true story] 3)Bob help you if your motherboard's chipset decides to retire

                My desktop pc travels very good, all extras included. By my calculations it traveled around 1k miles (if 1km = 1.6 miles)

                    Take a look at this survey which ranks them in terms of reliability: http://lifehacker.com/computer-manufacturers-ranked-how-to-pick-a-laptop-tha-1467145338[^]

                    The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
