Lets talk laptops

[revat619]

Well, i've gotten pretty fed up with my brother just downloading crap on the PC we supposedly share. He's has no sense of the word ad ware or spy ware. There's so much crap on the computer right now, its not even funny. And he always complains to me when its not running right. I'm like dumbass, pay attention when you're downloading stuff then! Then he gets all butt hurt when i get pissed and threaten to kick his ass. ANYWAY, im tired of this BS. So i'm thinking of giving him this computer and getting myself a decent laptop. Let him screw his own stuff up. Only thing is, i dont really know what to look for in a decent laptop. I've been looking around around online and reading up on a few differnt ones, but every company seems to claim there's as being the best. Basically, i'd like to know what you guys would recommend as a decent laptop. It doesnt have to be super fancy, but not a POS one either. I take it i'll be spending $600 - $800 bucks for something like that right?

Sorry for the rant. Just sick of doing spy/adware scans. I've been doing them ALL day. Matter of fact i'm running another one right now.

Thanks for any help guys!
