I am going to describe my favorite laptop. My favorite PC laptop, more precisely.
In my opinion, it has to be first of all about the brand. I know that most of the time, the rule is: you have a certain laptop and it’s given you headaches, conclusion: the BRAND is bad, and you tell everybody, DON’T buy it; you have a certain laptop and it has served you well and you didn’t even have to reinstall Windows every other month, conclusion: the BRAND is good, and you tell everyone that it’s the best brand ever. In other words, a very subjective point of view, which is quite normal. So it depends who you ask. Well I know you didn’t ask me, but I’ll tell you my very own subjective point of view. For me, for many years, there were just two brands worth considering buying: Toshiba and Dell. Sony’s were (and still are) way too expensive for what they offer. Plus they only had their own MemoryStick/Pro card readers for many years. HP’s were famous for their magical ability to find their way to the repair shops. Fancy but fragile. IBM’s were probably the best, no doubt about it, but they had that archaic look and that scary price. Plus I hated the trackpoint. Then there were ASUS laptops, powerful but again, pricey. Fujitsu was another brand to consider, but they were not too common. Last but not least, ACER/Gateway were known not to last long due to the cheap plastics they were made of. Anyway, I had 2 Toshiba A-series laptops so far and according to the rule I stated in the beginning, I can definitely recommend them. No problems whatsoever, decent price, pretty powerful. Then I had a Dell Studio 15 which I loved, and it was quite amazing. To tell you the truth, I bought the Dell Studio because it had so many things in common with the LENOVO Y510/Y530 – the unique screen hinges, the touch-sensitive controls, the non-slide non-glossy cover, the elegant looks. A friend of mine had a Lenovo Y510 and I must tell you I wanted one too!! It had the best sound I’ve ever heard from a laptop, so crisp, so loud, so… Dolby-Surround! Plus it had the most solid feel ever. No cheap plastics, no flying keyboard, no fragile screen hinges. It also had the VeriFace recognition software, all you needed to do was to sit in front of your laptop and you were logged in. If you went away from the laptop, it would log you out immediately. Talk about security! So now I have a new favorite, not because I owned it, but because of what I read about it, because of the pictures and videos I saw so far. It is a LENOVO / IBM and it doesn’t look archaic, it doesn’t have a scary price and it’s extremely powerful! It’s more powerful than an i3 processor and mildly less powerful than an i5! Check this out!!
