are you just looking for cheap laptops and trying to decide whether or not which machine is less likely to die first?

I'd go with the lenovo, 'cause i like to say the name... LENOVO, it rolls off the tounge better...

realy. what are you looking for in your laptop? is this for a corporate rollout or for you? what do want the laptop for? internet and word processing? or are you going to run AUTOCAD and want to burn dvds while at the same time you are recording from a live video feed?

hey buDdy,thanks for the reply!:)actually,im really looking for the cheappest machine in town due to some "budget" problem.As you said,i will use that one only for internet,microsoft office and dvd burning.Sir which one is better?:-)

I wouldn't buy either of them. because I'm not familiar with the companies directly.

As a reseller for several other companies I can make recommendations based on price and reputation. DELL, HP, Sager, and others come to mind before Lenovo or Acer

there ya go.

if you want the cheapest because of budgets and it's for your own personal use, there's tons of used laptop resellers around. You can get 2 year old laptops really cheap.

i would buy a used one and upgrade it if need be, would be a cheaper option.

The amount of RAM?

Oh! - I know - you could stick some 'Go-Faster-Stripes' on the lid!!!

Which are designed to be modular in design - you can upgrade some components like the video card. But I think you pay $$ for that.

Take a standard PC. You build/buy it, use it for a period of time and then find a need to upgrade/purchase to a new standard, as technology moves on and software keeps a steady unerring pace.

Graphics card in a PC? - No problem, whip it out and stick in a new one. What to do with the old one? - Again no problem, there's always someone that's not got the level of card that you've just removed, so you can always sell it off second-hand.

BUT, buy a modular laptop, when you get to the point of upgrading the modular graphics card it'll cost you an arm and a leg for a new modular card because you are now entering the cutting edge of technology.

The RUB is that the old card you've just removed had no resale value at all.

Because there's no-one out there with a laptop that doesn't have the card you've just replaced!
