Thread: Intel atom

for my 2c worth I've bought corporate dell laptops for quite a while, mostly latidudes, but a few XPS, inspiron, most recently E6510s and a few 2100's

I always buy Dell because thier support service is IMO second to none thats if you buy the gold 24x7 support, I havent tried the others. I have only had to call them on maybe 3 or 4 occasions but taking into account i dunno around 100+ laptops thats not bad going.
I have two at home too.

Ok I bought an acer timelineX 4820T

I ended up spending just a simdge over a 1000bux but it was a case of I need something to fill in for my desktop now as it had started crashing time after time after time......

So I now have a very sleek looking laptop with 14" screen (a touch bigger then I wanted but hey

4G ram
1g graphics
500 HDD
i5
so all in all pretty happy also bought on credit card which apparetly gives me 1 year extended warranty on the 12month factory.

I think I did OK considering I was going to by the 13.3" Toshiba Satellite which was only an i3 had one years extended warranty for $1088 + $25 postage
The reason I didn't buy the toshiba was because when I saw it in the flesh I hated the screen (touchscreen) and it was awful to typ on the keyboard felt..well wobbly!! odd I know, but the keys didn't feel stable. Oh and it was much bulkier

So there you have it..I know have a laptop that has more grunt then my desktop
