I bought my first Toshiba laptop in 2008, and replaced it with another Toshiba laptop 4 months ago. I have been happy with both machines. My computer needs are fairly basic -- web surfing, e-mail, Word, Excel and Powerpoint.
Last year I also bought (second hand) an original iPad from 2010. While I enjoy the iPad, I would not be without my laptop as I occasionally use my laptop for real work when I take work home with me (reports and spreadsheets). I could not imagine trying to write a lengthy report or work on a spreadsheet using an iPad, but that's just me.
My sister in Cincinnati swears by her Apple MacBook Pro which she bought in February, but I didn't want to spend $1,100 on a laptop.
