To all you road warriors and non-road warriors alike.
Which brands / models have you been using and where have you been purchasing them? I have always been a desktop kinda guy but am in the market for a decent laptop. It'll be running the usual productivity software like Office, etc. As well as a SQL Server, ARS, Mid-Tier etc. I have a pretty decent idea of what I am looking for and its been a while since I have started "one of those threads" and I thought I'd see what everyone else thought. Thoughts on CPU/RAM/Screen/Battery Life/Expandability/Keyboard/Options/Looks/Manufacturer Support/&/warranty are all equally relevant. Drives are/can be interchangeable and can be compared purely on stats but am curious about your experiences with these as well but has anyone tried one of the hybrid drives yet? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178340 I am pretty sure I'll end up with something that has a quad core i7 , expanded to 6GB+ RAM and an SSD (or SSD/spinner combo). Has anyone tried loading everything up on a Surface Pro yet? With only 4GB RAM I can't see it working all _that_ well with a full ARS install on it. But with an SSD and a well-tuned install it may not be all that bad swapping to disk etc. Thoughts? (asking more out of curiosity than anything else) Thank you!
