1110331 2010-06-16 02:48:00 Dont buy Dell or HP, or Acer ever again. Then you wont have to get rid of the crap :devil: Speedy Gonzales (78)
1110332 2010-06-16 06:22:00 What else would you use in a corp environment? Alex B (15479)
1110333 2010-06-16 07:03:00 I would go for one of the better Toshiba or Asus.
It is a swear word here, even so, you may could try MacBookPro.

1110334 2010-06-16 07:18:00 Thinkpads are the best IMO, so reliable, some may say they look like a black brick or a boring coporate look. Some have a carbon fiber / mag alloy / titanium shell for the screen :D Modular drive bays and consistent with their other models. Not the fastest or the cheapest then again that's not their target market.

You could format, reinstall windows and reinstall the drivers.

Corporates tend to do that anyway, some of them may buy a lappie with win7 and then reinstall winxp :thumbs:
with a t3g card or a XT / Voda stick :D

1110335 2010-06-16 07:20:00 Yeah maybe tosh, ASUS afaik have no overnight parts support and I don't think apple do either. Tosh are just as bad if not worse for filling their laptops with crap.

HP business machines are very reliable.

One of our largest clients has just signed a world wide agreement with Lenovo, users hate them, want their HP's back . Plus once again they come preloaded with crap . Plus the new HP elite books are brushed stainless look (oooh arrh)

1110337 2010-06-16 07:24:00 Tosh, IBM and HP I have seen in corps (for lappies).
For PCs, they are Dell (by most), also Acer (apparently) and IBM.

AFAIK Asus has a reputation for motherboards in the consumer market, no idea what motherboards corporate PCs use thou, the few I have seen are Dell motherboards with maybe a Intel chipset. I have not seen ASUS lappies in a corp. Me thinks they might be reliable but they are more the consumer market. Me also think they are more a newcomer in the lappie market. Asus might be more powerful and reliable and more price conscious. Ie., the gamer.

Thinkpads I got parts delivered to me overnight and I am not a corp - it was my personal laptop - bought used from the USA with a international warranty. :thumbs:
I did wipe Win98se on it and use my own Windows 2000 and reinstall the drivers and taking care not to install the bloat. But that is kinda std. My next would love a Thinkpad X100 or X300.

Don't you like the slick "contemporary" black designs of Lenovo :p and likewise of Nokia.

Tosh Tecra: still needs decrapyfying to some extent: so many Tosh utils loaded in & many running in background. Have to try decifer just what they do & if the device drivers are bound to these bits of software(on laptops)

And its on New corporate/business class PC/laptops that I see with all this crap- good way to alienate IT departments.
I guess thats why much lower spec generic PC's seem so much more responsive than the HP's etc. :badpc: :badpc:
