Re: Friendliest Laptop??
This is just my opinion. There are several portable computer categories.
Mainly laptops, pda's and Thinkpads. I firmly believe the best portable
computers you can buy are the Thinkpads. You get what you pay for. I
have worked on Dells, Compaqs, Microns, Gateways, Powerbooks, Toshibas,
Acers, TIs, and IBM Thinkpads. Once you have a Thinkpad, everything else
is just a laptop.
