Title: laptop question
Post by: hawk220 on December 02, 2002, 03:44:14 PM
I'm looking for a new laptop. all the major brands look pretty much the same in specs , has anyone had a really bad experience with either products or service that would help in the choice?

thanks

Almost a perfect score on resellerrankings.com

Helluva good deal for the price/features

Those Sager laptops are made by the company that manufactures Dell laptops.

The best notebook is the one that has the longest warranty.
 
We tend to keep them longer than desktops.

Good choice Pfunk. They use the same manufacture as the big boys and the kick butt "AREA 51" gaming notebooks. Their service leaves the others lagging big time.

Try this one :)
 
"The Radio Shack Model 100 is the best known of an entire family of nearly identical laptops, including the NEC PC-8201A, Olivetti M10, and the Kyocera Kyotronic 85. Tandy/Radio Shack's massive retail presence made the Model 100 the version that the average joe was most likely to encounter.
It was also, and still is, incredibly popular with journalists who loved its compactness (the size of a standard three-ring binder), exceptional battery life (about 20 hours on readily available AA batteries), ruggedness (no moving parts!), and built-in modem (with optional acoustic coupler). Another popular use, again, even today, is by hobbyists for remote monitoring, control applications and ham radio use.

The Model 100 featured a built-in version of BASIC, a simple text editor, a terminal program, and overly simplistic (to the point of being nearly useless) scheduling and address book programs. Additional software could be loaded from tape or from floppy disk (There were portable 3.5" drives, as well as a "Disk-Video Interface" which included a 5.25" drive and the ability to connect the model 100 to a television.) In addition, ROM modules could be purchased with various applications.

This is the computer that got me through college. I still use it (occasionally) to this day. "


I really want one. If anybody has one they want to get rid of, send it my way please
:D
