I suggest you to go for toshiba laptops as Dell lappies are facing a hardware problem and are being recalled back.

Go for Dell, I would say. Look for Vostros, they will suit your Dad's needs.

I would pick Toshiba due to their awesome reliability and longer life.

If possible, get Thinkpad for your dad. Superb keyboard, rock solid performance. I am using one for past 3 years and still it's rocking.

@bassam904: LOL! Who told you that buddy? There is nothing like that.

@rak007: Toshiba's are a lil costly but are very good buy. But quality wise both Dell and Toshiba are premium brands. So it won't make much difference quality and after sale service wise, both brands are really great! Personally i would recommend a Dell laptop as that is the one i have experience with. I personally did not like the Toshiba's keboard layout which is a little different than other, maybe in some of their laptops.

I guess it totally depends upon your needds. Try getting 2-3 configurations from Toshiba and for Inspiron 1525 and XPS 1530 and XPS 1330 from Dell in Canada and then post them here. We can compare them out then.
