Touchdown! Greaser!
the 4yo Toshiba finally went T.U. and I'm overstaying my welcome on Janet's Lenovo so I have to order one soon.
A couple of questions:
-your suggestions of course (I read E's thread....she was looking for something else I think but there were good tips)
-Vista vs XP..... would it be a mistake to get XP if Vista is going to be mandatory soon? (think XP will be functional for the lifespan of the device?)
-macs, while admirable are not in the running for me
-I didn't like that the IBM came without software CDs. I guess that's their way of controlling distribution of IP but..
-Is the current best standard USB port 2.0?
-2? years ago, dual core processors were the rage, have they been shown to be reliable?
Mission?
'Heavy' home use, occasional travel, the usual photos/documents etc. No networking reqd. Need CD/DVD player/writer.
-Longevity and warrantee are very important to me, I'm not into the disposable age yet.
