So, I'm in need of some guidance here please.
I've got a Macbook which I've had since April 2009 (one of the late 2008 ones when the aluminium models just came in) and it is now beginning to die. I need some advice on which good alternatives to the Macbook exist out there as I feel a bit uncomfortable giving Apple any more of my money while they're sitting on £93bn of profits (but that's a whole other topic).
Since University, I only really use my laptop for web browsing, streaming and occasionally Word/Excel. I rarely use it while travelling and pretty much always run it off the mains so battery life isn't a massive deal. I'm not looking for a tablet as I need something which has all the ports. I've a budget of up to £1,000, but would prefer to spend around £800. The two main things for me are a decent display, and a decent trackpad.
Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thank you in advance.
EDIT: Also I should mention, I have done some looking around myself but there are just so many I've no idea which I can count on.
