keep on top of antivirius and defrag once in a while as well as delete extraneous programs that waste processing power (especially programs that come on during boot up), your computer will continue to run like new. i have a hp dv5t (white one) its about 1.75years old now and its running just as good as the first day i got it. its took some abuse too (backpack, dropped a lap on it oops, etc) but i try to take care of it and it does return the favor.
really, like stated, go check the computers out and get a feel for em. see what kinda finish you like (gloss, semi-gloss, rough, etc), overall looks, screen size, user interface (easy shortcuts? laid out well?) these are all opinionated things you should consider. then you could either buy direct from best buy or w/e OR do what i did and go directly to the manufacture and price out a custom unit (that way you can choose more mem. cpu pwr. hdd space. etc) b/c you can get good deals on them.
just my $0.02
