Even if your current laptop is dying take a little time and decide what
features are important to you. That will help narrow the field. When I
bought my Dell Latitude D830 two years ago I decided that a non-glare
screen was important because I would be using it in conditions where I
didn't control the lighting. Dell seemed to be the only company offering
that option. I also didn't care for laptops with cables that plug into
the side rather than the back for times when I wanted to plug in an
external monitor/projector, cat-5 network, power, etc. I also checked on
reports of some that tend to run hot after being on awhile. Today's
laptops have rectangular screens. If your old one has a square screen you
may want to consider the vertical screen size in addition to the
horizontal. You may also want to think about CPU horsepower, memory, etc.
in case you want it to run Windows 7.

My D830 has been rock-solid, looks nice, and I love it to death. I'm not
claiming that Dells are perfect but mine has been everything that I was
looking for.
