After seven years, we've got nothing but Thinkpads now. A Dell overheated constantly and frequently shutdown. The Toshiba lost a drive, a power supply, and keycaps. Two HPs (new within the past year) have screen defects...stripes.
The Thinkpads just keep on truckin' except for one that dropped. They fixed it in a day no questions asked. The one problem we had for a while with X40 and T43 types was the occurrence of some brighter smudges on the screen...hard to see...but appear to come from external pressure on the top from those who travel and squeeze it into a suitcase. The very slight brighter quarter-sized areas aren't a problem but don't seem to occur on newer models. The Thinkpad X300 is an absolute dream machine...thin like a Macbook Air but has Ethernet, a super-thin DVD writer, and a replaceable battery. It's our company policy now to be sticking with Thinkpads...now, from Lenovo. . . . j o n a t h a n -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve Barnes Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 2:18 PM To: [email protected]; WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] HP/Lenovo Netbook I have a Computer Store as well as RC-WiFi. The only notebooks I sell as a rule is Lenovo. Have sold probably 50 last year and did not have a single one return for hardware issues. For business they are rock solid. Not big fan of the low end models. Prefer the $700 and up systems. We also repair notebooks. We work on a lot of HP/Compaq. A LOT!! I have to give a lot of HP owners My sales flyer and say sorry. Find a nice deep hole for this one. If you are looking for a Installer laptop truthfully consider the ASUS EEE with WinXP Very small unit 8.9" screen. Winbox, putty, web all work great good battery life, Ethernet and 802.11b/g. Around $400 no CD/DVD to break. Just a small workhorse.
