i recommend going to officeworks and picking out a laptop from there, because the prices are typically quite affordable . also, its important to tell us what you use your laptop for, so that we can help suggest you a product that'll fulfil your requirements. For instance, a gaming laptop will have a starkly different set of criteria to a machine that is going to mainly be dedicated to scholastic pursuit.

Road rage? :P

What do you need the laptop for? Uni? Need power for games etc? There's a few threads that discuss purchasing new laptops so have a read of those, but if you want more specific advice for yourself then you're best to state what your needs are and budget.

I was using external keyboard...imagine how angry I was that I punched my laptop...I'm gonna use my laptop for multiple purposes..games, uni etc. but I think no laptop is as efficient as a desktop pc for gaming..so I might buy an average tablet and a desktop...my budget is around 1000$

What's the best laptop I can get for $500? This is purely for scholastic purposes, not gaming.

I actually saw this at JB the other day, seems like a decent approach if you're going to be using windows 8 preloaded on a new laptop

There's a Nexus 7 16GB at MLN on sale. It's a pretty good deal.
