So, if a person were in the market for a new laptop, would CNET reviews be a good place to start looking? Or is there somewhere else? I'm looking for cheapish but not crappy.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

you can start there, but I find their reviews to be somewhat inadequate and usually out of date for my purposes. you might start reading and then ask here for opinions, etc.
I like Dell and Dell has decent deals on refurbished laptops.
I know others here like Sony.

Toshibas also get very high marks around here.

Cool, thanks. I like that CNET compares them to one another, because I don't really know what I'm looking for.

The reason I ask is that I just got a notice that my McAfee subscription was renewed automatically and I'm just wondering if I need to pay $40 a year for this when I'm on such a tight budget.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I am as one with DX.
