I have had great luck with Acer, we currently have 4 in the family and all are doing great.

Re: [H] Laptop brand advice?
A friend had noting but trouble with Ferrari (or Lamborghini?) laptop overheating, dieing, and RMA issues. Unit went back 3 times and never did get fixed right. On the other hand I test-drove an Aspire One netbook for a month and short of lacking video horsepower I loved the unit. Seemed well enough built if not for GMA sucking and ironically lack of an Intel wifi card. Really seemed a better deal than a comparable HP. Fully laptop wise I lean towards the HP highend DV's the HDX at first blush. Not looked much at the market other than to drool over Asus' high-end gaming laptop. ;) Hunter, Gary wrote: I have had great luck with Acer, we currently have 4 in the family and all are doing great.

Re: [H] Laptop brand advice?
I've been using a Lenovo x200T for over a year and love it. Great build quality, but the best is the keyboard. I've got big hands and sn picky about keyboards and the x200t is small but has a fullsize keyboard. --- Brian Sent from my iPhone On 2009-11-08, at 1:30 AM, Scott Sipe csco...@gmail.com wrote: Looking for a business laptop (no games, integrated graphics fine), in the 15 range, good for mixed home / travel use (sturdy and not terribly heavy).

Re: [H] Laptop brand advice?
Not sure. Acer bought gateway, emachines, and several others a while back. Most others aren't really competing in that price segment outside of netbook stuff. And what is, I'd avoid (hp). If you were saying 600, there are options, then again even in that market the acer 'timeline' models are freakish value.

Re: [H] Laptop brand advice?
Here in Saudi Arabia, what they do is sell Laptops with FreeDOS or no OS. That drives down the price by at least 100 Dollars. Time to hit the market here and see what they have for sale. -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of Joe User Sent: Sunday, November 08, 2009 6:13 PM To: Joe User Subject: Re: [H] Laptop brand advice?
