https://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/super.asp. They have lots of HP stuff which I would avoid like the plague. Other stuff, like Lenovo, Asus, and Dell are all over there.

The laptop I'm typing on now is a Lenovo I got at (gasp!) Walmart for about 220 bucks, new, maybe two years ago. It's beat up and missing the "K" key. But, it's been working like a champ all along.

I say avoid HP because I had two HP all-in-one desktops that died on me for no understandable reason. Cost me good money, too.
