My IBM ThinkPad is dying. The backlight or display is going out on me, and
I am trying to decide if it would be best to replace or repair. I know that
the cost of repair - if I do it myself - will be around $250. The ThinkPad
is about 4 to 5 years old, and I think it is slow when running most of the
software. It is used to run Adobe Pro, do email via browser (gmail)
maintain a few web sites for non profit groups, and other miscellaneous
things. This is my main home PC, but I travel enough, and need to have
access to a computer and the web when I do, that a laptop makes sense.

What brands of laptops would you recommend? I have only really experienced
the IBM (now Lenovo) ThinkPad for the last 8 to 10 years, as my job has
supplied me with one. What kind of features should I look for? I know that
Lenovo can be expensive, but is the extra cost worth the value of the Lenovo
ThinkPad now? Any other thoughts or suggestions that I have not asked?

Your insight is valuable

Thanks!

Jim
