Laptop woes.

I am not sure what happened but my lapop took the big nose dive this AM. I think it is the same problem I had a few months ago. My internet access will be limited until I get home and get it fixed. Pussycat, try and find my Dell paperwork and find out my warranty status, it's getting close to the end. Everyone else: I am gonna need a new laptop soon, any suggestions you have would be appreciated. I need something fast, with alot of storage, light wieght and reasonably priced. Thank you!
