Stupid is as Stupid Buys
A well made notebook lasts a long time. I buy Lenovo. Apple has excellent quality and support. So does Lenovo. Difference is upgrading the ram and hard disk are laid out for the end user. With ever falling prices I increased the power and usability of my laptop with a new 9 cell battery, extra 8 gigs of ram and a 240 gig solid state drive. At the time of buying my laptop, a few years ago, the costs of these items were out of reach.
Now without forking out big bucks for someone else to upgrade these elements under the hood, I did it myself with off the shelf items. I have thus inexpensively greatly boosted the performance and battery life to match a new unit. The bright anti-glare screen lets me design outdoors on a park bench with several hours of juice.
