After having my HP Pavilion TX2000 crash I have been doing some research on the most reliable laptop. Without reiterating all the reports that have been copied from website to website, here is the result, ASUS UL30A-X5. Asus and Toshiba came out with the lowest service visits with HP at the top and Dell in the middle. Of the Twitters and blogs, the best results of the two is Asus. The ASUS UL30A-X5 has some of the best user comments on Amazon. I particularly like the 12 hour battery feature. See and read for yourself. Note: Even though Amazon is an affiliate advertiser, Asus is not affiliated with this site in anyway.
You will also want to add the ASUS USB 2.0 8x DVD Writer External Optical Drive SDRW-08D1S-U.
