Laptop Hep

[JAXvillain]

we just got a boatload here at work. They seem to be pretty sweet.

stay away from D600 and 8600 models. We replace drives like crazy on them thar suckers.

I would look into an IBM if i were to get one. I dont trust dells at all.

d600 is about 2+ years old now...current model is the d620 for the d6xx line

also as theac pointed out...it's lenovo now, not IBM...they are decent but cost too much money for no better hardware imo

maybe government people are just a tad bit rough on their laptops, but once stuff around here hits the 2 year mark, we RMA like crazy.

IBM doesn't make laptops anymore.

Lenovo. Same thing. You go to IBM's website it points to Lenovo.

i agree with the lenovo stuff. they offer the same hardware as the dells, but they come even less equipped than the standard dell shells, and they're like 300 bucks more. what would i be forking over the extra cash for, aside from the "thinkpad" monniker?

Extra Gig of RAM > DVD Burner by a long shot.

if i can get my whinyass boy to buy a friggin dvd burner, then sure. if not, extra gig of ram <<<< lack of boy whine

buy the ram for sure and just get a cheapo external usb burner...no compromise

 

[Sarcasmo]

Absolutely. You can get a DVD burner at Fry's for way cheaper than Dell. Of course the same goes for RAM, but not many lay people appreciate doing surgery on a new computer.

Especially a laptop.

laptop couldn't be easier to add ram to...there is a little door on the bottom that you generally have 1 screw to get through and it pops right in

Yeah they really couldn't get any easier now. Any retard could do it. But the average consumer probably doesn't want to give much thought to the process.

Hmm.... I may have to get Knyte to do this for me so my laptop lasts another year. It's 3 years old and I think it only has 512 ram and I'm feeling it.

And Dell gets all their parts from Taiwan but it's still an American company.

Fine just to shut everyone up about one slight indiscretion in details.


Lenovo makes the best laptops
Dell a close second.

There you happy?

 

[HydroSqueegee]

what about Sager?

I used to have to re-seat the CPU on my old PIII Dell laptop once a week that way, took a minute each time

 

[Syrup Beaver]

My current Dell also survived the old lady running me over on my motorcycle++

I don't think any of the big US comp companies actually makes a laptop...they just buy them from asia and slap their name on it
