Recommend me a laptop brand.

[venom0706]

I have a Dell Inspiron n5110.I will NEVER again buy a product from Dell.The laptop got buggy, slow, making strange noises and it started to freeze after i closed the lid and opened it back.I sent it to service and they told me they probably won't be able to fix it.I am thinking of buying a new laptop, but I am not good very well informed about the brands on the market.Can you recommend me a brand (Toshiba,Lenovo,Sony,Hp...but NOT Dell) in the range of approximately 800$?Not necessary to be a gaming laptop.And also, Win 7 or 8?The last 5 years I have been using Win 7 and I am happy.Don't know about 8.Heard it is more suitable for tablets and touch screen devices.Thank you.

Hi. Look at Lenovo in your price range. They are good quality machines from all I've seen. Windows 8 probably would have been good had they not included Metro in that mess. For me that was a deal breaker. This would be good, but a tad over your budget: http/shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/y-series/y510p/
