RE: [aus-dotnet] OT : Developer Laptop

[Yann Duran]

Hi,

 

I have one of these as well, & have been very happy with it. Mine came with Vista Ultimate, the performance (especially Vista 64-bit) of which I’ve been less impressed with, but it seems I’m not alone on that, lol.

this was also a nice laptop, but i was not able to get one at the time
and it was about $500 cheaper

Latitude D830 is nice. High res screen. Option for a second hard disk.

 

Lenovo has a fairly similar equivalent (T61P IIRC)

Hi All

 

I am hunting for a new laptop to start the new year off, and was wondering if anyone would care to share some thoughts or recommendations with me as to a reliable developer laptop with grunt. I'm looking at the Dell (Latitude series), Lenovo, and Alienware ( http://www.alienware.com.au/dnn2/default.aspx?tabid=104&ConfigurationID=53 ). I'm particularly interested on feedback from the latter if anyone's bought one.

 

I also don't know whether 64 bit is the way to go or not so any opinions would be appreciated. Budget isn't a problem but I want a machine that'll look after a developer for 2 - 3 years.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Grant
