Re: staff picks
For what i used:
Everyday common peron a dell is fine for if they are looking for nothing costing too much and want another in a few years.
I have a toshiba right now, people say all the software that came on it is bad, well most on mine was toshiba software to burn dvds or wireless, not as bad as the HP desktop i had and on top of that, i got a CD for system recovery unlike a lot of companies that put it on the hard drive and you have to make your own. only bad part is battery life is bad.
I also used an acer, which seemed fine too, battery life was bad though and it got hot just being on, so you have to be careful with that.
my friend has an old sony laptop (from china i think) and it seems good for its age with few problems.
HP, i heard a lot about their motherboards going and the desktop i had was no different then that.
I have used a IBM lenovo X60s, it is just what i need for class. Living on campus at a college (Rutgers, New brunswick to be exact) it takes a bating to get around campus, busses that are worse then NYC with all the people on them, all the traffic, just the distance. The X series is extremly lite and easy to carry around plus i was never afraid that it would break. it is a little pricy, not too bad though plus it doesnt use much cooling besides its size being so small that not enough heat can build up in it i think (somewhat). The battery lasts a really long time, 3+ hours min. playing a game that kills my toshiba in about an hour. then i think it was 5 hours just being on which is what i just need when i have two or three classes in a row. So yea i am trying to save up for a X61 of my own to use for class.
