Best Laptops for bloggers and colage students? Not Dell laptops..

So.. my laptop broke! Now I am even more behind in live and even more in debit.
I apologize as my blogging is probably going to a bit crappy for the next little while. Speaking of which, their is honestly no laptop reviews marketed towards teens and college students. I hate shopping for a laptop and I defiantly don't want to be stuck with anything as horribly as my dell inspiron was. The day I received it, keys started falling out. Within two months the battery completly died and I had to always have it plugged in. Then the cord broke after a year and I had to get a new cord. Hardly two years in, I'm not finished paying for it and it decided it just didn't want to work anymore. The computer repair guy was shocked at how badly made my laptop was. Not to mention I did pay over $1000.00 for it. I'm so upset!! Dell was terrible and told me they couldn't help me. They offered to replace the battery possibly but I'd have to sent it in for two to three months for them to see if it was actually a problem. Urghh!!! So not pleased. I'm currently on a hp laptop and I'm not sure how this is going to turn out. Its defiantly a change. I'm not a fan of the hard to click mouse area. I'll let you know how this goes.. but anyways. Students looking for laptops for university, do not go with a dell. You will be left screwed with a crap computer. Dell I wanted to love you so much!
