Craig was sucked into the endless vortex of tech at an early age, only to be spat back out babbling things like "phase-locked-loop crystal oscillators!". Mostly this receives a pat on the head from the listener, followed closely by a question about what laptop they should buy.

Have to disagree with John on his opinion of Asus laptops. I own an Asus and I couldn't be happier - it goes beautifully.

why are all these comments about faulty computers rather than the article? Oh well, to continue down that road...If I always believed it when people told me to stay away from a particualr product then I'd never buy anything. One can always get a dud. As it happens, Toshiba consistently scores highest in reliability surveys and pretty well in customer satisfaction too.

Just a note of caution about Toshiba notebooks .... stay away from them unless you want premature ageing from all the problems with the product. Surprisingly, Toshiba don't even want to know you or your problems when things go pear shaped. Has to be one of the most irresponsible companies I have come across in 30 years.

After my problems and frustrations, I have talked several dozen people away from the Toshiba brand towards Asus which has been indefatigable since day 1.

Can i just say something?
Asus try to get people to buy their product by using signs like HUGE RAM or HUGE HARDDRIVE. It might look great on the outside but under the hood? Bam a dud

Darch, 1 year into use my Dell XPS1330 the graphics card failed and was replaced, just passed year two, searching for a replacement laptop. Good Luck with your XPS, don't use it too much, or carry it around, then it should last!

This is the last Dell laptop I buy because there is no warranty available from Dell because of the Nvidia graphics problems. My Dell has died twice and Dell and Nvidia know they have a problem but will not acknowledge it. Typical Americans hiding from the truth and consumers as if you look at Dells website the XPS 1330 no longer exists for warranty renewals. Avoid Dell.
