Good feedback in here; I think people's experience has also depended on what model of laptop they have from any given manufacturer. Our work Dell laptop models are spec'd to support the business traveler and are hardier than the entry level line; yet, I have friends who have Dell entry level laptops and those haven't held up as well for as long.

So, Tyson, you want to get a laptop to replace your desktop? For space considerations? Or the versatility of being able to take it places? Because if you're not going to move it around alot, you may be able to get away with a lower-cost option, but if you plan to haul it here & there and unplug/plug in the power supply on a frequent basis, that is going to change what you want to pay for.
