I've been needing a new laptop for months (maybe even a year+)! At first, I thought a tablet would suffice my needs, but I realized I just need a real laptop. </p> <p>I really liked the feel of the Lenovo Ideapad. The build quality was sexy. The keyboard was very similar to a Macbook. But it was the last one left (display model). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-laptop-should-we-buy#post-1701206 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 00:55:26 +0000 mrbee 1701206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: We actually realized we could revive an old tower PC we hadn't been using and did that instead! We still would love a laptop but haven't figured out which one to get... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-laptop-should-we-buy#post-1701201 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 00:46:05 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1701201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Which one did you end up buying?</p> <p>I'm about to head out to the stores again for some serious sale hunting (which I never do). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-laptop-should-we-buy#post-1700693 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 15:00:07 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1700693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping! I'm also looking for a new laptop and all your responses got me curious about a Lenovo. I checked out an Ideapad today and it was pretty nice (and on sale too)! The one I was looking at was a touchscreen, which seems to work better with Windows 8. But I haven't decided yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-laptop-should-we-buy#post-1658149 Mon, 26 May 2014 08:25:09 +0000 pui 1658149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you use this computer for?</p> <p>Brand wise, ThinkPads are great. I also am partial to Acer myself. It all depends on specs in the end though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-laptop-should-we-buy#post-1658105 Mon, 26 May 2014 07:51:15 +0000 ElbieKay 1658105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like my Lenovo Yoga. My office got it for me in December. It's so light and airy. (My previous work laptop was a brick.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-laptop-should-we-buy#post-1658003 Mon, 26 May 2014 03:28:31 +0000 Pumuckl 1658003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for Lenovo ThinkPad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-laptop-should-we-buy#post-1657994 Mon, 26 May 2014 02:55:47 +0000 Dandelion 1657994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: @Bao: my toshiba just died after just 3 years. :( I loved that laptop...to death apparently lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-laptop-should-we-buy#post-1657940 Mon, 26 May 2014 00:13:20 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1657940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I just got a Lenovo and I LOVE IT! Previously I had a Toshiba, which I also liked.</p> <p>My DH is pretty good at techy stuff and we have a friend who is in IT for a living and he said that Toshiba and Lenovo are the two PC brands that have the least amount of "problems," generally speaking.</p> <p>We got ours at Costco when it was on coupon for $75 off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-laptop-should-we-buy#post-1657833 Sun, 25 May 2014 22:00:15 +0000 sunny 1657833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the build quality on Thinkpads are great. Particularly the X series. However, they are very expensive. I have had Thinkpads for years and they are great.</p> <p>We also have Dells and the build quality isn't as good but the price point is so much more affordable. The XPS line is really great. The Inspiron line is fine but the quality does feel more flimsy. It is much cheaper though! I've owned both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-laptop-should-we-buy#post-1656759 Sat, 24 May 2014 20:40:13 +0000 yin 1656759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for thinkpads.

So, was wondering if anyone had good recommendations for a great laptop. Preferably something that is PC compatible… </p>
