Hi all,
I'm helping a friend to select a new laptop after the screen failed on
his 4 year old Fujitsu Siemens.
Although he wants a laptop, it's unlikely to be travelling much, except
perhaps between rooms. There also isn't a great demand for powerful CPU
or gaming features. A large 16:9 screen would be desirable due to ageing
eyesight and build quality is certainly a primary consideration.
As someone who uses a PC for work, I'm a Thinkpad fan but I've had no
experience of other machines in the Lenovo range. I'm quite
impressed with Toshiba machines and have shortlisted the L550 as ticking
all his boxes. There's also the Dell Inspiron range that looks
impressive on a webpage but I have no hands on experience.
I'd appreciate any recommendations.
