If I am going for endurance as far as long lasting which brand is the best for a laptop?
Question by tom s: If I am going for endurance as far as long lasting which brand is the best for a laptop?
Hi I am trying to customize a laptop that I will be using for everydayday use, a good amount of downloading, Slingbox(for college), and it will be plugged into a TV most of the time with an HDMI cable. I really am leaning towards a Sony Vaio(with i5 Processor) rather than a mac or any other brand. If you have any advice please help. My reasoning is that I am used to PCs and I can get more memory, a better processor ad blue ray disc for about 200 bucks cheaper with the vaio. I am planning on getting good security for the vaio if i get it.
Also if you can help would upgrading the harddrive from 5400 rpm to 7200 rpm make a difference in how long te computer lasts?
Thanks so much fr all your help!

Laptops are being made far better than years ago the older models did last yet over the long haul the wear and tear on the CPU and the ports was seen.
Looking at newer makes and models they last far better and they offer way more in the long run also the quality of the CPU is far superior and faster as well. The motherboards are amazing the have placed more and more and they do last. It does come down to taking care of the laptop such as heat and cold, dust, liquids, etc. just take care of the unit and it will last you far longer.
As for the hard drive yes a 7,200RPM is better however I have seen even a 5,400 one being used for video editing and worked well. If you can afford that yeah we like faster drives and all the RAM we can get the most out of the unit. Would it make it last longer for the end run, not really.
