Favorite Laptop Brand?

Sounds nice even without the bluetooth, but I really think that bluetooth should come standard (with a hardware disconnect switch) on all laptops.

 

Tell them to rush that Chinese crap over to you ASAPy...

EDIT: not bashing Lenovo - great laptop. Just wish the other stuff we get from China wasn't so bad.

 

Exactly what "other stuff" are you referring to?!

 

I have an Asus, high performance gaming machine ( kid at heart) its awesome i took it overseas with me and its almost 2 years old and still out performs most new laptops. Only downside the laptop gets hot !!!!! but 20$ chill pad from bestbuy or walmart BAM problem solved If you have any questions hit me up, but I love this laptop

 

I personally wouldn't cancel the order just because it doesn't have bluetooth built in. There's USB bluetooth modules that are probably under $40 that you can just get. Might even be able to buy the actual factory bluetooth and put it in yourself. Not sure though.


But I sure as hell wouldn't trade my T61p for a similar dell workstation laptop just because it didn't have bluetooth.

 

Unless you want to learn all over again and have to find ways to work with some windows programs stay with windows,

Also some of the newer laptops dont have drivers for Xp and not all may work if you downgrade to XP

 

where did u order from?

 

You can make Vista have an XP look-n-feel:

The Federal Government can still order laptops with XP on it from Dell's government link. I don't know if everyone can buy those or not (Vista's not authorized on DOD computers yet).

 

Everything - office supplies, toys, engines, lights, home products, etc...

That too. How did you know?!?!?!

 

Yo dude, I don't know much about computer and all that stuff. My only question is...can you look at pron on that laptop? If so, you made a very wise buying decision. If not, well then I think you're wasting your money with this brick.

 

yea their site kinda sucks.


anyway, when you try to log in, you have to log in to whatever page you ordered from. So since you ordered though CPP, you need to go to that site and log in from there. You can't use your login at the normal lenovo site.

 

Looks like a nice setup lsocoee!

We are using XP still at the DOT. I guess Dell has a few nice Gov contracts.

 

There's been dog food and baby formula issues, as well as other Chinese products that have been poorly designed and produced without concern for safety or usability, but such problems have been pointed out in the products of every fast growing industrial economy the world has ever seen.

In earlier years for example, many Japanese exports were likewise considered junk - but did that slow Japan down as it took its place as a world power in production and cutting edge technology? Not hardly!

Will a number of similar widely publicized issues slow the exploding growth of Chinese industry and manufacturing? Not hardly!

Engines? ..Some of the best and most economical engines the motorcycle world has available are produced in China, as well as a huge range of highly affordable light to heavy industrial engines in use world wide. And that's only one thing among many where China is a leading world producer of items in demand across the globe.

Yea, it's "fun" to poke sticks at those we don't know very well or feel comfortable with in the world marketplace, suggesting that nothing they produce will ever be up to "our standards." But China is a fact of life in every part of our world today, and its high tech industrial base is now number one or poised to become number one in many areas. Virtually nothing we have in our homes or use in our daily jobs is free of Chinese technology. This is an economic "fact of life" across the world, so get used to it 'cause it's not going to change anytime soon.

Whether we can retool ourselves to effectively compete in the world market will be the benchmark history looks back on as most telling.

 

Weren't the frames of the first gens that rusted to hell and back made from chinese steel?
