We had a Latitude where the PCMCIA ejector broke and they had to replace the whole motherboard under warranty. It then promptly broke again and we just said "the heck with it" and just used it as it was. :D

They have caused me issues, but the Latitudes are rock solid. Mark From: Tom Miller [mailto:tmil...@hnncsb.org] Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2011 9:38 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Laptop confusion Hi Folks, We are purchasing a number of laptops are part of a project here. Most of these laptops will be replacing current desktops. Some will be for our "nomadic" users who work in schools, hospitals, and so on. Up to now we've purchased ThinkPad laptops, but I'm looking around. We've been satisfied with our Dell desktops, so I'm looking at Dell laptops. My Dell rep suggested a Latitude with docking station for my staff with desks, and a Vostro for the remote users. Remote users access our systems via XenApp, so I don't need anything powerful on their end. I'm having a bit of trouble comparing these to the Lenovo units, though. I think the Vostro would be about the same as a SL510 series or around that. The Latitude would be like a T series Lenovo. I can match memory and screen size and most features, but processor core isn't always a direct match. Suggestions? Really for us, best price wins, but I want to compare apples to apples, as it were. Anyone compare these two brands? Am I off on the models here?
