| 1144174 | 2010-10-12 23:49:00 | Quick question. I am looking to purchase a couple of laptops for business use and have been quoted priving on some Lenovo T410s. I have never used a Lenovo laptop before (always used HP business laptops at previous job) so was wondering how they stack up in comparison? I can get a very similar looking spec HP 6450b for around $500 - $1000 less. For those who have purchased these for business in the past would you prefer Lenovo or HP? |

| 1144175 | 2010-10-13 00:02:00 | We have both types here and but only the one lenovo (T61), several HP 8530p I would rate both about the same but the Lenovo keyboards are nicer to use For that kind of savings if the specs are similar i would be going for the HP |

| 1144177 | 2010-10-13 00:26:00 | Well if you're talking about high end business notebooks, I quite like HP, and the amount of bloat the lenovo manages to cram onto their notebooks is nothing short of obscene. Either should do the job well though. I agree with Globe's comment that the Lenovo keyboards are nicer... have you looked at Asus or Toshiba at all? |

| 1144179 | 2010-10-13 00:40:00 | HP's seem to be everywhere in retail stores, some with discounts, as I noticed yesterday in large retail chains. HP have a great online resource learning centre (http://h30187.www3.hp.com/), which include dozens of tutorials (and include pdf's), including business, IT, and much more. Many NZ businesses I think grew up with HP products... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1144180 | 2010-10-13 01:20:00 | The Large retail chains tend to sell the 'home user' type of PC/laptop. The Tosh Tecra's are also excellent, but again full of bloatware. I actually though HP's had too much bloatware, so Id hate to see how much is in the Lenovo's :rolleyes: Bloatware is at the stage the OEM install has the default Win Games disabled, trying to force the user into using the bundled WildTangent games. Shame on you. |

Not sure about Lenovo add ons, however HP have some real nice security features thanks to its trusted platform module, so on that I would go for HP...If a tablet, I would go for the Lenovo X200T |

| 1144183 | 2010-10-13 01:51:00 | ASUS only produce consumer class AFAIK! And the practical difference is? Most business machines I see in use have sad specs compared to a lot of home user ones. |
