Need laptop recommendations.

I've done hundreds of installs of the following and no one goes back to subscription AV:

Avast
Avira
AVG

I use AVG and Avira at home, my folks run Avast. I'd use any of the three with out hesitation.

Avast is a great AV. I have it on all my PCs at home even though I could use the managed AV we have at the office. I have seen Avast catch threats most AVs let go.

Avast works well for me.

I actually just installed Snow Leopard on my computer. It's no quicker than Windows 7 (actually probably a little slower if anything) and the mouse acceleration sucks with my Logitech. It looks so pretty though

I've noticed that Leopard was a bit faster, but I'm running an older mac without much RAM too...

I dunno what the specs are on the one you got, but this popped up as today's Woot....

Don't forget malwarebytes.org for their superior malware scanner. I also like AVG for antivirus.

Yeah, the new Mac laptops with the corei5 and corei7 processors looks nice but I'm a bit broke at the moment.

I prefer Lenovo/IBM over Dell - the IBM T42 the company gave me ran for 3 years with it running 5 days a week bouncing around in the back of a car and never had a problem. The Dell Latitude D630 on the other hand that they replaced it with was faster but has been thru 3 motherboards, 3 hard drives and 3 cooling fans.

Kind of a lemon if you ask me. Warranty is up in December, hope they replace it before it disintegrates altogether.

I'm not looking. I've already spent my money.

I tried AVG free for the time being for the antivirus.

I've had an account with Dell for 6 years, bought nearly 10 computers from them but the stuff I've been hearing steered me away from a laptop purchase. This one has an i5 processor, 4gb ram and seems like it will last a while...
