need help to buy a laptop

hi.
guys can you help . i will buy a new laptop . the main use is to use it for my study and college and a little gaming actually my budget is about 1000 dollars .
i need it with a good battery life i am about to buy dell xps 15 or xps 15z can you comment about them mm and is hp generally good or bad .mm another ting i want to be stay as much as it can with me because i dont want to broke after some years because i will loss all my work and thnx in advance. do you know what is the real battery life for xps 15

 

I had four Hp laptops before my Dell L702X. I was happy with each of those and love my Dell. My customer service experiences have been better with Dell. I wish i could comment on the two Dell's you are looking at, but I really don't know the defference other than the z is thinner. I like bigger, because it makes me feel like the laptop will have better airflow. Hopefully others will answer this soon.

 

I've never owned any, but my experience with HP consumer has generally been bad. Seen a lot of hot and broken DVXXXX machines over the past few years.

If you're looking for the best bang for buck with respect to specs (and only with respect to specs, really), an XPS or Inspiron might be what you are looking for, but if you want reliability, I'd definitely recommend buying a business notebook with an appropriately long warranty.

 

I've had nothing but great customer service from dell while under warranty. After warranty, it can get messy, but that holds for most companies I've dealt with.

The "what notebook should I buy?" forum could probably help you out better when comparing companies, though.

 

thanks to all of you guys after some search and reading reviews i found that dell is the best but another thing what you think of toshiba at all and specially satellite l 750 ?

 

Toshiba's aren't bad laptops, but they have had issues with their crappy designed jacks (there was a huge recall from like 2007-2009 models). Again personally the price you get for a new cheaper laptop, I would get a used business laptop that is still in warranty.
