VaKo Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 You need to be a lot more clear about what type of things you intend to do with your laptop, your budget, features you want, features you don't really care about etc. I like business class machines like the Dell E-Series, HP EliteBook and Lenovo Thinkpads, but you will pay a premium for them, and you can get next day, on-site warranty repairs with these type of machines.

Charles Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Get an EEEPC. My 1005HA works perfectly in BT4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsck Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 (edited) I have one of the original EEE 702's. It came with an 8GB ssd, 1GB DDR2 ram, and a 900mhz celeron scaled to 600mhz. I have upgraded the ram to 2GB and added a mugen 6-cell battery for ~7hrs total real battery life. It has been a great machine and I still use it almost daily. I've done everything from taking notes to running presentations and even some light video editing. It is a stable machine and built like a tank (thanks mostly to its small size which eliminates a lot of case bending found in larger notebooks). I've taken two C++ courses at my university so far. Every assignment I turned in was written, debugged, and compiled using my EEE. Edited May 17, 2010 by fsck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
