My personal laptop (and primary personal computer) died over the weekend, so for personal stuff I have to shift to a slower less capable desktop unit for a while. I'll open up the laptop and see if I can fix anything, but because it has been dropped a few times, and a heavy item falling on it Friday took it out, I suspect that it may be unrepairable. I just don't have $1100 or so for a replacement one, so I am appealing to the overall community for ideas on an affordable replacement.
The laptop specs that I would like to match or improve as best as possible are: (was a ThinkPad W530 2449-1A3) - Proc: Intel i7-3840QM: 4 core, 2.8GHz, 8MB cache - Memory: 32GB RAM DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz - Screen: 15.6" HD+ wide screen, 1920x1080 (16:9 ratio), anti-glare, LED backlight, 95% Gamut, Pantone X-Rite color calibration - Video: Intel HD 4000 on the chipset, NVidia Quadro K2000M w/2GB PCIe, up to 3 external monitors - Keybrd: 6-row full size 84-key, spill resistant, wide touchpad, trackpoint, LED backlight and overhead light - Audio: Realtek ALC3202 codec, Dolby Home Theater v4 1W per speaker, 2 2"x3/4" speakers - Storage: DVD-RW Optical Drive, 2.5"x7mm SATA bay, 4-in-1 SD/MMC/SDHC/SDXC slot - Network: Intel 82579LM Gigabit Ethernet, 11a/b/g/n WiFi Adv-N 6205 2x2 connections, Bluetooth 4.0 - Battery: 9-cell extended length - Ports: ExpressCard/34, 2 USB 3.0, 2 USB 2.0, VGA (2048x1536 @ 85Hz), Mini-DisplayPort (3840x2160 @60Hz DisplayPort, or 1920x1200@60 DVI-I, or 1920x1080p HDMI), Firewire 400 (1394a-2000 4-pin), combo Stereo Audio/Mic jack, Fingerprint Reader (TCG 1.2 Trusted Platform Module) - A/V: Camera: HD720p 120° wide angle view, low light, face tracking; Mic: dual-array - BIOS: uEFI (optional), Intel iAMT (Active Management), Power-on Password (optional), Boot Disk Encryption (optional) -- Scott G.
