I need a replacement for my HP Laptop

by afam4eva Oct 2, 2012 12:52AM PDT

I have a HP Altec Lansing laptop and it's gotten old. So, i want to change it. My plan initially was to get a Mac Air or any Apple product but as it is right now, i can't really afford an Apple computer. So, i want to know if there's any system that's higher than my current laptop in almost every ramification. I want either a HP, Dell or Toshiba system but preferably a HP laptop. . Note that i don't understand most of the specs info except for the ram, hard disk space and a few other things. Also note that i'll be using the laptop for multimedia and some programming work. Below are the specs of my current system:
