Hi folks,
I'm finding it's getting really difficult to find a non-customized
laptop that meets my agency's requirements. Granted, I'm pretty
picky, though I am somewhat flexible on the potential trade-offs involved.
Many of you use quite nifty hardware so I thought you might have some ideas.
As a professional developer and consultant, the laptop is as much a
socio-economic statement as a working tool, so I'm a big fan of "top of the
line minus one" or last year's top of the line for best bang for the buck,
longevity and reliability. We went shopping at a couple of the Big Box
stores
SSDs make a lot of sense for speed, weight and less noise and if
everything's on the network or the internet, 128 Gb SSD is just as good as
a 1TB HDD.
Thanks Ted.
"Everything's on the network or the internet" seems to be a common
assumption and is apparently the reason why it's pretty hard
I'd have agreed with you a couple of years ago but my new MBP is not where
near the versatile machine that my older one is. The MBPs are resigning
you to a life of carrying dongles with you to connect to whatever you might
encounter.

Cool. Yeah - I know about the Transformer series. Hell, even at the $149
price listed - I'd love to pick 1 up if I had the bucks!

A plug for a new MacBook Pro running Windows in a VM. My MacBook Pro is 6 years
old and looks and performs like new. Best purchase I ever made. A shout-out to
Ed and others for making this recommendation many years ago.
