Don't think your laptop is as aging as mine (Toshiba Satalite Pro) which was however many hands old when I got it.It has always been reliable but is now used as a second laptop (still going well though). I now have an iQon (from Tesco) and it has also been brilliant. 18 months old and no problems. So I can recommend both Toshiba and iQon in terms of reliability.

I have a toshiba, had it coming up 3yrs now and never needed my warrenty, which would have been good even in Spain (touch wood). Bought in England it is used every day as it is my main pc. The only problem I had was not the laptops fault
