2. My first laptop was a Quantex.

It was very reliable. I have a HP right now, it's almost ten years old, it's a core i3 and it's very slow. I think the problem is mostly the hard drive so I'm going to swap out the ata drive with a ssd one and see how that works. I don't really want to get a new laptop at this point, and these new SSDs are many factors faster than the disk drives. Whatever laptop you get make sure it has a ssd. I would probably go with a Intel chip. I just bought a Dell tower with a core i7, pretty happy with it, but it wasn't cheap.
