Question

Laptop with CLEAN design and GOOD HARDWARE, suggestions?

Sep 9, 2015 11:30AM PDT

Hello!

Anyone got some suggestions for laptops with CLEAN design and good hardware? It dosn't need to be some cheap thing, but neither does it have to be something over-expensive.

Thanks! Happy

How about a MacBook Air?

Not only does it have a clean design and good hardware, it also comes with a widely acclaimed OS. And it isn't a cheap thing either.

I like Toshiba, Dell, & Asus in the $500 - $600 range w/I5.

I've 2 Toshiba laptops in the last 9 years, both performed well and have been very reliable. My current Toshiba L755 will be 5 years old in Jan. and is still going strong. The speakers crapped out when it was 1.5 years old and it has a few sticky keys, but other than that it's serving my needs very well. I bought a bluetooth adapter and use external speakers. I'll probably pay the shop $30 to clean my keyboard.

Good luck.
