I love Lenovo. They can take a major beating and something else, their call center is in Atlanta GA. When things do break, you call them and tell them its broke and thats it. No beating around the bush, no crap. They just say OK and send you the part, or you send it in and get it back in a day or two. Easy as pie to deal with.

Have a Dell with a 15" screen for personal use, it's bulky and not what I like to carry around. Like the larger drive cause you always use the space. Battery life is a plus too if you're going to be using it without AC. Price tags around 600 - 800 for these types. ----- Original Message ---- From: Erik Goldoff <[email protected]> To: NT System Admin Issues <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2009 9:16:53 AM Subject: RE: Notebook opinion Was about to recommend the Toshiba Satellite with 12" screen, I've got one from around 2006, bumped up RAM and changed out to a 500gb hard drive, partitioned for multi boot, *and* virtual PC on it ... But it was just over $1000 stock so it doesn't meet your budget ... The 12" screen makes it MUCH more portable (and lighter) than a 15" laptop It even travels in my motorcycle saddlebag without issue and 12" is big enough for normal business use ( the netbook little screens take a LOT of scrolling ) Erik Goldoff IT Consultant Systems, Networks, & Security -----Original Message----- From: Joseph L.

I will need to dual boot between windows and nix and as far as work goes, it will only need to allow ssh/rdp over OpenVPN so no issues I can imagine. The rest leaves personal use. If I was only going to spend ~600-800 bucks, what would you guys get? I only look after a few laptops at work so I really have no idea what the market offers or who makes good ones! ~15" screen for portability is primary.
