Toshiba is the best, its very durable.
I got one for my sis cost me around 3945 in DSF, got a 250GB hard disk also. Anywayz, the best feature i liked was the internal hard disk portection which prevents from hard disk getting crashed.

I dont know the exact model, it was anywayz the last piece. But my advice go for Toshiba or dell.
My personal opinion do not go for HP, it doesnt last that long.
Go for MAC if you can afford it.

The HP one i had lasted quite long till it got stolen. it was the HP 6530 i guess. I am using a Vaio SR series but I feel the HP one was slightly better.

Stay the %#%$ away from Acer, MSI, etc. Dell and Toshiba are reliable. HP will last you 6 months and then it's as good as a paper weight.
