12_Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
I don't really mind about the brand, but I tend to like HP, Acer, Samsung, or Sony. These brands seem a little more reliable, unless I'm wrong.
13_What country do you live in?
USA!!
I've been doing some research already, but I would like some peer expertise. The Samsung I found looks pretty promising, but I'm afraid the i5 core is a little slow? I'm not sure how much 2.2ghz for an i5 would compare to AMD Turion/C2D/i3. I was looking at some charts on this site but not all the CPUs are posted up.
