I'm looking for a laptop with good parts that will last me a substantial amount of time throughout college, without having to do repairs or returning it. My top recommendation so far has been the apple macbook air. Is it truly the best or is that pure marketing talking?
price range- 800-900 to maybe 1000

Under a thousand, and you might as well just go to Best Buy and get the nicest laptop you can find.

Go Asus or Lenovo.

If you take notes and want to commit to it, SP3/4 plus OneNote is a pretty great setup.

I'm on my third Toshiba and I have been impressed by all of them. I'd probably still have my second one if it didn't meet an untimely demise by my then 3 year old son. He saw a cord hanging off the table, and like most kids would have done- he pulled it. Laptop was not happy. But I've liked all of mine and will continue to buy them.
$429.99 at Best Buy
$508- 17.3" Screen
All Toshiba Laptops- Best Buy

I would say that it really depends on what you plan on using it for.
And as far as Apple laptops go, people love to hate on them and the "Apple tax" but as far as build quality goes they are second to none. I've had numerous laptops over the years but my Powerbook was by far my favorite.

Not necessarily recommending the brand (I've owned two with mixed results), but if you want a Lenovo, check their online outlet.

I have a 14" Asus...bought it October of 2010 and it's still going strong. When it finally gives I'll probably get a MacBook Air or a Dell XPS 13.

Do yourself a favor and buy a Mac. If you dont want to spend the dosh, then at least get something with Win7 on it. Stay away from Win8.1

The new XPS 13 has gotten very favorable reviews. Most saying it's the most formidable opponent to the MacBook Air available. I also have a top of the line Inspiron for work and like it a lot. I don't think they are the same crappy Dell as 5 to 8 years ago.
