My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite, Maggie - a hand-me-down from my sister when it was about a year old. I've had it about 6 years now and because it is old it is slow but continues to be very reliable. I also only use it when I'm traveling or when I need to work from home because I can't access my work remote desktop from a Mac system.

Toshiba laptop reliability ratings with Consumer Reports were quite high for several years, but last I checked, had dropped considerably.
