Re: Best Notebook computer brand?
Good point. No metrics provided or requested, so it's a "touchy-feely" response.
I bought an Acer TravelMate 8210 about 10 months ago because I needed a high powered portable system. Given that it's primarily a "business desktop" in portable form - those were my requirements. It had to be portable enough to fit in a business case, which meant no 17" widescreen units.
On a price-performance basis, this was the unit that fit the bill for me at that time. 15.4" Widescreen with DVI and VGA outputs (plus S-Video if needed for presentations). Core 2 Duo T7200 (@ 2.0 Ghz), 2GB RAM, 160GB Hard Drive, Dual-Layer DVD writer, Bluetooth and 802.11g wireless.
It is solid (Carbon Fiber case), very fast, has good battery life, and with Dual Core I have all the power I need for the programs I end up running on a daily basis.
Additional decision points for me: generally good reports of trouble-free performance of Acer units over the last 2-3 years, generally satisfied customers, equivalent warranty to other brands.
Hope those details help put my choice into perspective. |
