Re: [Notebooks] Rant about laptops said by insomx:Like quetwo mentioned, business laptops seem to be more durable, I might have to go with that on my next purchase.Thanks for your replies everyone There are rugged "business" notebooks...and bargain "business" notebooks...don't be fooled. It really is quality of construction, and price will be your best guide. Even Dell has some cheap, bargain business laptops...note: I did not say "bad"...just cheap. Frankly, there is no brand name out there that can make an exclusive claim to quality, most major brands have both better, and lesser built notebooks.
IMHO, there is nothing wrong with a low cost notebook, based on your needs and usage...as long as one acknowledges that there is a reason that one notebook costs $499, and one costs $1,499. It really is more than just a larger hard drive, or faster cpu...
This I will say, and not as a jab at anyone: How a notebook holds up is ever so often at the hands of the end-user! None of my co-workers claim to be tough on their notebooks, yet I can usually make a very accurate prediction when new notebooks get sent out to the field, which 3 or 4 will be the first to require repair/replacement...almost like clock-work!
