Here's a suggestion... if you want computer reviews, don't be asking chip collectors!

Seriously... try http://www.cnet.com. It's a site that has reveiws (and prices) for most home electronics, including computers. I recommend you spend some time at the site and narrow down your search criteria... then read the reviews. They have sections within the laptop area, for example, for DESKTOP REPLACEMENTS, BUDGET LAPTOPS, MIDSIZED, and SMALL AND THIN. They also have reviews of desktops if you want to go in that direction. Always look for the SORT BY: EDITOR'S RATING link, as it's probably the best way to look at the lists.
