NCR - recommend a laptop

[NotSpartacus]

I need to buy a new laptop as thieves seem to like my desktops (2 in 2 months). I understand a Core2 Duo processorr is the way to go. Suggestions as to brand and specs will be appreciated. I can spend about R8k (would rather buy SRAM but need it for work).

How urgently do you need it? Have friend that can arrange one very cheap. Just tell me what you need.

I've always been very impressed with the Thinkpad range. They're very sturdy and I'm quite heavy on my laptops. Both my brother and father have sub R8000 Thinkpads and they've been happy with theirs.

I have a Lenovo R400 Thinkpad..... awesome machine. I also run Windows 7..... even more awesome.

[Mr LOOK]

Lenovo all the way...

Go for the biggest spec you can afford.

 

Prices on the net are half what we pay in SA.

Lenovo..... you guys obviously havent had to deal with their aftersales service (or lack there of)

 

I say DELL all the way. Brilliant product' date=' value for money and best backup service of them all....

 

just my 2cents as I am in the industry

I'm on my third HP, one died when it got dropped into a pool, and another was re-distributed by some locals. Never had a problem with them, I reckon they the best. I also dual booted with uBuntu on the 2nd with no problems at all.

Also have a HP Pavillion that now migrated to EM. Never had any problems with it. Just large and heavy. Nice screen with though.

NotSpartacus: Speak to my friend Peter: http://www.pryorcomp.co.za/index.php?categoryid=6 he has kick-ass prices so you'll get something good for R8k

 

If you don't like what he has on that site^ then just speak to him.

It is useless, really!!

As I tiped this I had to restart it twice, did the Ctrl-Alt-Del move 3 times, smacked it once and waited for ever for anything to happen!

Based on experience of a good few 1000 notebooks we have purchased over the last 10 years  I agree 100% with this statement.

 

You wont go wrong buying a Dell.
