Format: Markdown version of the HTML page (same content, lookups and page chrome left out).

Laptops from the makers' own stores, the big retailers, and refurbished outlets, plus independent reviews so you can compare before you buy. Check battery life and repairability in reviews like Notebookcheck and RTINGS, look for EPEAT and ENERGY STAR ratings, and recycle the old one responsibly. Every maker and store below is a commercial business. Toshiba laptops are now Dynabook, Gateway is an Acer brand, and Alienware is part of Dell.
