[Njtechdiv] New lap advice

[Janie Degenshein]

I got my dell inspiron about 3 years ago I have a 14 inch monitor which is 
good for me as I can see the when I go to the desktop or wlm and that works 
for me.
Think I paid about $600 for it and it hums all the time
woo hoo
It is a full lap top with  no application key persay
using the function key next to the left control and the right control 
together brings that up
It has a wonderful battery life
Now, I still get up to 8 hours of battery time
Taken from my performance information in the conttrol panel:

  The gaming graphics score is based on the primary graphics adapter. If 
this system has linked or multiple graphics adapters, some software 
applications may see additional performance benefits.
  Caution: Based on the results of the WinSAT Disk assessment, your system 
drive may have slower response times under some workloads. Performance 
results will depend on the specific applications used and the amount of 
memory available. If your experience is satisfactory, no action is needed.

reaching out to all of you for advice, I'm looking at either maybe a to 
Shiba or a Dell laptop I want one with the full laptop keyboard I don't know
