    goto www.ifixit.com and look up the model you want to get and decide if you want to deal with fixing it later when it breaks. :D

    whatever you do, don't buy a Lenovo unless you have 4 weeks to wait for it. I wouldn't mind waiting 4 weeks for it, if they had told me that it would take 4 weeks. But they told me it would be 2 weeks and I could get 2 day shipping. Now I'm not going to be able to bargain shop for a laptop and I'll probably end up getting a $400 walmart special.

    well... that sucks....its just that i don't want the damn vista, and for what i've heard they are not writing drivers for xp on new computers (its all part of the plot) so i don't know....

    Yea, i guess if they've told you there would be no problem, but i hate when they lie to you in order to make the sale.....:mad:

    My thing is that I don't like getting screwed, lied to, treated unfairly, or ignored.

    So far, Lenovo screwed me out of 2 day shipping, lied about the ship date, and has not returned my calls.

    Maybe I'm just a demanding person - I bitched and moaned about the suspension TSB, my tires being worn out from the lack of alignment, the scratch in my rim from the install of the new tires, my boss moving the office another 30 miles away from my house, my window visors came in cracked, and my laptop won't come in before my 2 week business trip.

    I could easily give up my TV (and I have in the past,) but I could never live without a computer. I need my TW!

    Depending on what hotel you use, they might have a guest terminal that you can get on the internet on. They are usually in public view, so you may not wanna look at the MM thread at that time. As we will be posting tw@t shots out the wazoo while you're gonna be gone.

    Does your company have loaner laptops that they give to people when they travel?

    Go buy a cheapo at Walmart or Sam's Club, keep the receipt, and return it after! :D Sam's has a 6-month return policy on computers. Wal-Mart might have the same although they take damn near anything back with a receipt. :laugh:

    they do, they've just all been loaned out.

    I might do it, but I'll keep it. I'd rather not risk them denying a return.

    My father in law opened up an ink cartridge and it was broken and he was allowed to return it. :confused:

    As long as you have all the parts and receipt they shouldn't deny you. No reason too. If they do, just bitch some more to a manager or file a fraud claim with your CC company. :devil:

    So far, I've bought 4 laptops. I ordered the lenovo t61, a Dell Studio 17, some cheap Sony and a cheap Toshiba.

    I already returned the Sony. If I get either the lenovo or the dell by Saturday, I'll return the Toshiba. Otherwise, I'll be cancelling the lenovo and the dell.
