Hi to all: My HP has just died and I need to buy a new laptop. Wondering what people would recommend. I primarily use it for browsing and creating documents. My son would like one as powerful as possible so he can run some games- I don't plan on buying a desktop.

Which computers are most reliable with the fewest problems. My HP ran into inverter problems which aren't worth fixing- too expensive. I understand that some computers have a reputation for known problems and I would like to avoid this. I use my computer about 14 hours a day, 6 days a week. Any special things or features you would recommend?

I also have a Linksys WRT 54G wireless router Version 1. Has router techology changed substantially that I should buy a new router as well?

And what should I expect re: lifespan of laptops? I have had mine for 3 years and a few things are going wrong with it. Is 3 years normal?

Thanks for all the advice.
