I'll never own a lappy, I don't like the fact that most of them are linked via wireless network internet connections, being on-line for hours exposes you to microwaves like mobile phones and it definitely aint good for you.

I've only owned Dell PC's and laptops and I must say that I've never had any trouble with them and have been remarkably reliable.

I've never owned a laptop, I did have a problem with my previous PC but have to say I've had no trouble at all with my Mac.....
