Picking the right Laptop saves you problems

Tweet

I've used different branded laptops and found out which one is more reliable, which one is not recommended, which one has the pros and cons as well. Here are a few examples:I'm a big fan of Dell Laptops - for one reason is they have better use of battery power - I've tested them using up to 3 to 4 hours max with no interruptions - and that was a default power saver - if I set it to the max use setting I'm looking about over 2 hours of use - that's not counting the use of burning CDs/DVDs or using other external devices. Their built in wireless internet is not that bad and stable from B/G/N connections. The only downfall I don't like about Dell Laptops is there pre-installed software or other bundled third party crap they put on there when you purchase them. It's just better to buy or download your own programs of use. Their technical support is more or less ok, but don't expect brainy techs to give you fast fixes or resolutions when you come across computer issues. For those that plan to buy or have an Acer branded laptop - there are two downfalls about it - one is there built in Wireless internet and the battery use. For one the wireless internet range is weak and can lose strength pretty easy. Another thing is the battery usage is less than 2 hours which is a big downfall and you will find yourself relying more on using the power adapter to recharge and use. For those that have HP branded laptops - the downfall I have found in these many times is that their hard drives they have inside tend to fail about 9/10 times - believe me! For all the repairs I've done in the office I've had customers bring me so much hp laptops due to their hard drive failing and have to get it replaced. Compaq Laptops are decent but don't expect much from their built in wireless - this too has weak signal, but sufficient than the Acer laptop. Be wise when buying laptops with Windows Vista - because if you want a convenient and stable laptop running that Operating System I high suggest and recommend a minimum of 2GB of RAM/Memory or higher. I've used Windows Vista laptops that had 512MB or 1GB of RAM and they were still slow - And one more thing! Don't ever buy a laptop that uses an Intel Celeron M Processor - I repeat one that says a "Celeron M" - You'll do good with an Intel Pentium Duo Core or Core Duo - I would't get those kinds of laptops that have processor speeds with 1.6Ghz or 1.8Ghz. I hope this information helps you - if any of you know any other good brands or why you recommend a certain laptop go ahead and discuss it here.
