The Firm used to rely upon Lenovo, but some sort of Sino Spy chips got added and IT banned them. Now it is all M$ $urface that leads to weekly calls to outsourced help desk and rapid deployment of replacement hardware, since the stuff is so bug ridden. I am out of the hackintosh loop as for

Greg Fiorentino recommended Lenovo Thinkpads years ago. I bought several, and they are great machines. They are ancient, but still do quite well. The T410 I have is several generations old, but still supports Windows 10 (and Linux) very well. His last recommendation when I asked a while back

Turns out it wasn't a Model A with a Lincoln engine stuffed in it, it was a chopped Lincoln V12 chassis with a Model A body on it. https://www.curbsideclassic.com/blog/music/in-search-of-the-true-hot-rod-lincoln/ 1955 Charlie Ryan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcCj4ogE-m8 1971 Commander Cody

My daughter's who had been raised on HP enterprise class laptops - high school and college - have since moved to Lenovo Thinkpads and haven't looked back. That's what I would look for, and install an SSD - should last a long time. I don't know what kind of crap all the W10 users load that blows up

In my last job we would get new Lenovo ThinkPads every few years. I can vouch they were very rugged and had nice features for travelling engineering and business use. Except for hard drives, the hardware would never wear out. The operating systems and peripherals would just become obsolete. Of

My indy repair guy traded his Solus Ultra in on a $4000 Solus Legend this fall. So rather than fight with my useless SDS C4 to try to make it work, I'll go into town at 8am and run an all systems diagnosis on the ML. Need to buy some door panel fasteners from him if he has them. Mitch. On
