Ok I had this old Dell for about close to 9 years and after slowly falling apart I think it's about time to find another one. I would like to find something different than Dell, because most of the products cause me nothing but grief. Like one of the hinges on the laptop became immobile after 2 years and I haven't been able to close it since. I was thinking about getting an HP, but they don't support Windows 7 anymore and I haven't heard great things about Windows 8.So do you guys have any ideas about what brand to go for? I'm looking for something basic and simple to use with more memory and storage space than my old one.Thanks for your time.
