I HATE my computer

I bought a Toshiba computer a few months ago and I HATE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have a reasonably priced ($1,000 or less) laptop that you like? Generally, I just use my computer to write, edit pictures, listen to music and watch a movie on Netflix, occasionally.

I've been looking at the Lenovo Ideapad Z500.

If I don't get a new computer soon...I'm going to pull my hair out and that will make me grumpier than being 4 weeks behind on orders.

Anybody...anybody...???

Re: I HATE my computer

I love my HP! And I found it at Best Buy for just a couple hundred bucks on sale!

I think it was inexpensive because it was probably considered 'outdated' compared to the newer models but it had memory, etc comparable to my desktop and I so other than it having Windows 8 - I have no complaints...and I've learned to work around the W8 mess enough it doesn't bother me so much.

I, in general, have stuck with HP products.

I am curious what you don't like about it. I had thought the Toshiba was supposed to be good. But, I have had no direct experience with it.

ETA... I have an acer but I am not in love with it.

Re: I HATE my computer

My hubby has a HP and I like it, but the HP that I really want costs $1400 and I really don't want to spend that much. I had a Toshiba before and I liked it, but this time I obviously got a lemon.

This computer is always telling me that my printer is offline...when it's not. I got a new printer, thinking that was the problem and it's still happening.

The space key on the keyboard changes sensitivity on a regular basis. Which totally messes up my writing.

When my laptop goes to sleep, sometimes the screen won't come back on. You can tap on the mouse and it will blink for a second and go back off. The only way to get it back on, is to turn the computer off and turn it back on.

Shockwave crashes multiple times a day.

I use Word a lot. I've never had any problems with it. For my orders, I print tags in columns. When it saves it, it shows 2 columns. When I open the files back up, they are only showing 1 column and it's not showing my second column on another page. But if I change it to 1 column, then back to 2 columns...my second column miraculously appears just as I saved it.

The speakers volume is getting lower and lower.

I could go on and on... I've never had a computer with this many problems.

Thanks to everyone for taking the time to comment. =)

Re: I HATE my computer

Yep, I think there are lemons in the computer industry just like in the car industry. My last desktop was a Dell...it was a real lemon...I changed out the hard drive twice before i gave up on it.

I'm not familiar with the Lenovo...I'll have to look into that.

Good luck!
