Any brand loyalty or bad experiences you'd like to avoid?

I don't know laptops as well as I do desktops. Building a PC is a blast.

Do you intend to do any gaming? If so I've found that around 800 is the minimum sweet spot for value on laptops if you are at all concerned about gaming. At that range you can find discrete graphics cards that will really extend the life of your gaming experience. Like this www.amazon.com/dp/B01N11JKA3/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ll1&tag=bkadamos_test0d-20&linkId=93c2604953d9b043103c1f31b77b94ce

My personal laptop is a 2009 ASUS that I bought from Best Buy. It still holds up just fine today, and in fact I put an SSD and Windows 10 on it and it runs just fine for my needs. I'd recommend ASUS laptops to anyone. I don't have personal experience with this particular model, but www.amazon.com/ASUS-F556UA-AB54-Intel-Windows-Laptop/dp/B01M08DL26/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1490887180&sr=1-5&refinements=p_36%3A-60000 looks like it might suit you well.

My IT guru cousin recommends Toshiba laptops. He says at conferences virtually every IT professional there has a Toshiba. I don't know if they have a budget range though.

13 or 15 inch laptop? Any gaming? Do you want to work all day without charging?
