For a basic home user I like the Toshiba's a lot. Have a couple of them
bought on sale, working great. I will NEVER buy another HP.

How long have had them?

My programmer friend's HP HD after 2 years has crashed. Fortunately, he
has extended warranty.

The two I am currently using are about 1 year and 6 months old. The reason
for the No HP, is years ago when I bought my first Laptop, also a Toshiba,
My wife and Father both decided they liked the idea. They both bought
Compac's that were on sale. Both of them had trouble that had to be fixed,
then a year or so later when the batteries started to go they found they
could not find one that would work with them. I have found that when you buy
a Toshiba if you later need things like memory or a battery they are common,
and easy to find.

Dell's aren't bad either, have two of them. #1 Latitude C-600, several
years old and still going strong...well, as strong as a 1gig Pentium can be.
#2 Inspiron (forget model #), little over a year old, no
problems...yet...use it at work for Excel spreadsheets and such mundane
tasks. Reasonably priced, if that's a consideration...just my two cents...

If you're using BASIC (I presume the DOS version, right?) then you'd be well
with an AST Premium Exec. I have two and they're great.

My second choice would be a Compaq LTE Elite. I actually had one that I was
using for years to write QBASIC programs with. I bought it used from a
friend. It had Windows 95 on it but I took care of that. FDISK and install
DOS/Win3.11 and it ran much better for programming.

What do you mean by "For home user - basic" does that mean your programming
in BASIC (with or without Q)? Or does that mean your a basic user, because I
don't think many basic computer users are programmers though.

Basic user like my family members who don't do programming but not
heavy on multimedia stuff either.

It's assumption.
