We are buying five to ten tomorrow. We’ll be running custom and COTS applications that aren’t much more cpu/hadrware intensive than Office 2007.
I have some good expereinces with Dell Dimensions and HP but some IT people are pushing for Lennivo (sic, I never heard of them) T400’s. I can’t find this brand on Google. My personal feeling was that the Sony’s were good ones, but I know very liitle about laptops.
We’re not looking for glitzy models or state of the art techno design. My gosh I was shown some shiny new white Macs today that were thinner than bread, but my instinct right way was “no”, I dont want those things getting pounded on a TSA baggage beltway.
We need something sturdy and well made and we’ll spend the bucks. Experience shows that our users take better care of their laptops if they have the option to buy them at 27% cost after two years of use.
