Re: Laptop Purchase
Talk with Tom from system76.com because they have been shipping core i5 systems in the Pangolin and Bonobo performance. They can give you some feedback you're looking for. AZ_RUNE I am only concerned because I need the laptop to work NOW, which the T500 will, but the T510 might not be real stable for a few months, or longer, or could be rock solid now. Any ideas? What are you opinons if you have any experience with either of these machines or other i5 chipsets with the intel HD graphcis. nathan --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
