Laptop decision.
Posted on: 15.05.2013 by Catrice Halwood
Hey guys, this is not a thread to begin a Mac vs CPU war. I just want you to recommend me a good laptop for a relatively low price, however i have no idea which one to buy.

I was believeing about something like this

http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-ThinkPa...ptop+windows+7

Good enough? I don't really know, i would like to hear your opinion.

Ultimately I hope this helps as looking up/ researching a product before I make a purchase has helped me make most purchases which I usually am very satisfied with.

Side note: Look for specs, cosmetic features, durability, battery life and also the customer service you'll have to deal with if you go with a particular brand. Those are the aspects I would be paying most attention to if I were you.
Alright, i've been looking and found a good Acer laptop with some good specs.

Not a $300, but i like the specs.

Not sure how good are the Acer tho, i read a few reviews about this one in particular and it seems good enough.

That is a good point.

Most of the believepad users I know (and all of the serious fans) use the donkey dick (clitmouse, nubbin, nipple mouse, "trackpoint") in the middle of the keyboard. My trackpad has been disabled in bios since I got it, so if you actually like trackpads, it might be worth looking elsewhere.

24.05.2013		Since you're just planning on using this laptop as a stepping stone, don't bother with a $500 consumer laptop that will be worth $200 in a year.

Look around for a used Lenovo T61. They were top of the line business machines about five years ago and can be had for $200-300. Very fast, reliable laptops with great screens. And in a year you can sell it for $50 less than you paid for it.

21.05.2013		Personally, if I had to use windows, I'd prefer win 8.

That being said, I haven't seriously used windows since 2004 and probably never will. But when I have to interact with it, I prefer 8 to 7 for UI/UX concerns.

20.05.2013		Alright thanks! I believe i will go for the one i posted!

Also, does Windows 8 affect at all? Like, is it better to have Windows 7?

16.05.2013		I like my Thinkpad a lot. But I have no idea how well it works for production. I own it because the rest of my life pretty much dictates that I run Linux and I got sick of VMs and dual-booting headaches...and literally everything on the x230 works under Linux, including cellular data.

The only negative so far is that it took Lenovo like 3 months to get it to me. Like...I ordered it in January and it arrived in April. I'm not too happy with Lenovo as a business, and I'm terrified of what will happen if I have to send it in for repair. But they do make good computers.

They've had their issues, so research that model. But Lenovos tend to be well-built. Before I went Mac, I always used Thinkpads. Now that I own both, it's Apple, Thinkpad, and home-built all the way.

16.05.2013		Well right now i'm not trying to spend too much on a laptop until i learn the basics and can really afford a MacBook Pro. Of course i'm looking forward to buy one in the future tho.

Right now i would like a good Windows laptop. Is Lenovo a good brand? Or is there a better brand?
