End user level machines. Go with XPS if you intend to use this for work. Alienware may be a good alternative too (I do my daily work on an Alienware M15x) Inspirons... meh... they're decent, IMO, but as far as business use goes, are more geared toward people who do more presentations and spreadsheets than people who do coding, compiling, and more intense work. You MAY be happy with the higher end Inspirons, but honestly, to me they feel cheaply made. > 2. Lenovo Thinkpad Crap. I haven't seen a decent Thinkpad since the X220. I currently own an X201. All the newer are generally Crap, and stay away especially from the Edge series... pure garbage. Thinkpads are NOT the same as they were in the IBM days. IBM and the EARLY Lenovo thinkpads were bullet proof, which is why I STILL use my old X201. It's rock solid. But I've tested Linux (Ubuntu) on multiple new thinkpads, and I wouldn't waste my own money on any of them these days. > 3. HP The only good HPs I've liked are the extreme high end. Again, they feel cheaply made. I only own one HP laptop, and really don't like it. I let my wife have it for her web-surfing machine because it felt like I would break it from normal use and the case was creaky and felt flimsy. > 4 Toshiba Toshiba actually makes decent machines. I can't tell you much about Linux support on them, but I do know that some older models at least work very well. The newer ones, maybe, maybe not. Of the four you listed, I'd look at either a dell XPS laptop (beefy like Alienware, but not as expensive) or a Toshiba before the others. That being said, I'm currently looking at a Dell XPS13 Ultrabook that seems pretty suitable for a development system. I'm also looking at a Macbook, however. I don't need windows, I just need to run Linux (and I would like to get an OSX machine of my very own. > > My purpose - Linux installation, Windows installation, Coding/ development, > good speed, fast processing, multiple tasks. > > Please share your inpurs / suggest ur best experience and make my new laptop > simple with ur assistance. > > Thank you all in advance for your response. > > You valuable inputs will be appreciated. > Sent on my BlackBerry® from Vodafone > > ------------------------------------ > > To unsubscribe from this list, please email > [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
