Good Laptops

[Skeithex]

I was wondering if anyone here knows any good laptops? I'm mainly looking for one that has around 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. I enjoy the ASUS brand but anything I found had a lot of driver issues or was too big in size (want a 15 inch laptop)

I don't know of any laptop brands with a great reputation. I heard Asus and MSI makes good laptops.

I think most of the popular laptop brands may have problems these days because companies don't have as many buyers for laptops compared to the past. More people use their smartphones, and tablets for web browsing, and watching video when they are not at home, so there is less money to be made selling laptops these days.

A lot of ASUS laptops I looked at have a lot of driver and BIOs issues that are partnered with blue screens. Not something I want to buy into.

I wonder if other laptop brands have these BIOS and Driver problems. I remember that there are not a lot of BIOS makers. I think AMI, Award and Phoenix are the big PC motherboard BIOS makers.

A lot of the drivers are actually made by Intel, Nvidia, AMD, Realtek, Broadcomm, and other tech companies which design hardware, and the Drivers from ASUS and other manufactures websites are sometimes just modified versions of Intel, Nvidia and AMD drivers.

Some of the problems could also be related to Windows which is Blue screening with certain BIOS and Drivers.

hard to say, though I see these more in W10 based devices than 8 or 7, so it could easily be the new OS.

I think Windows 10 is new, so it may have more bugs in it than Windows 7, and 8.1, or Linux based Operating Systems like Linux Miny which seem pretty stable according to reviews.

I need to get a laptop soon that would still support W7, I hear new devices will be made with W10 in mind only.
