I've always been of the impression from friends that IBMs tend to be fairly hard wearing but am not a personal fan of their design cues.

Didn't Acer originate by producing several of the larger companies laptops for them (Compaq? HP?). Havn't used one but they sound good on paper.

I have a Dell (broken screen) still works via an external monitor, an IBM Lenovo and a Panasonic Toughbook Elite.

After almost two years, the Toughbook looks and works like brand new whereas the IBM is a workhorse but no points for looks. The Toughbook is the same that the law enforcement uses. The Elite series is for professionals and can take a lot of hit and drops. Check out the CF-W2 or any of the newer models. You will not be disappointed but they do cost a few $$$.

personally i'd stay the heck away from HP, SONY, ACER and COMPAQ(hp). Suggest going with a referb lenovo/ibm as they are only about $600 and for a temp time replacement are great

The Dell XPS M1330 LED back-lit Notebook has been grabbing my attention of late. Been trying to debate that v.s the Macbook Pro

[QUOTE=Scottie]Ok I realise maybe some names (acer) you may not have heard off but here are the specs.

Yes I do have an Apple MacBook Pro but don't get me started on that what a nightmare dam thing is always getting fixed. So I need something to use while it's at the shop.

Scotti are you still have problems with your MacBook, anyone else having problems?

FYI

CR rates Mac Book tops for support and last for reliability.

They also rate it as the top 15 inch Lap Top
