About Lauren Bennett Expertise I am a computer science major and my dad is an Electric Engineering, so my life has revolved around computers. For as long as I can remember, I have been buying and selling computers. I tend to travel a lot, so I have always had a laptop. I have bought 5 of them for myself, and bought around 30-40 for friends and family. I have dealt with the good and the bad of various version and brand names. If you are in need of buying a laptop, feel free to contact me and I'm sure I will be able to guide you into purchasing the laptop that will be the best fit for you. I will custom build you computers for you to choose from so you can get an exact idea of what to go and buy when you do it yourself and so that you have an exact price. However, I am in the USA and am only knowledgeable about computers here in the US. I do not know about foreign currency or the quality of computer brand names outside the US.
Experience B.S. in Computer Science. Buying and selling for years. Assisting friends/family.
Question Which lap top is better ?, i will be using it for business looking up parts,records,pic's of jobs before and after,bill paying,internet surfing,entertainment,mobil and home. i'm thinking of 1000.00 or so and years of service. need your help.
Answer i would defintely go with Dell. They have a much better warranty, higher quality of customer service (which may just be because it is easier to get what you want), higher quality computers, and better deals. I've done extensive research (aka my dissertation to graduate) on the quality of almost all of the computer brand names out there, Dell and IBM being two of them.
If you'd like, I can help you build a notebook that would best fit your needs and your budget.
Do you have a preference between Vista and XP? Do you have a preference with size? (14", 15" and 17" are most common). How much will you be carrying/traveling with this notebook?
Let me know and I'll try to build you the notebook that would best suit you!
