My faithful Lenovo/IBM T430 seems to have died so I'm looking for a replacement. A similar specification would be fine, price is the major issue, the T430 is a refurbished one and I'd be quite happy to go for refurbished again. Requirements are:-
Third generation core I5 or better processor 14" screen SSD drive (though I could transfer the one from my T430) 8Gb memory USB 3.0 Gbit ethernetThere's no need for any OS though I guess it will be bound to have Windows in which case 7 preferred.
There's not so many brands, basically Lenovo, HP/Compaq, Dell, Fujitsu, Asus and Acer seem to be it. Does anyone have any comments on good/bad brands? I've been happy with the Lenovo T430 (but it has died!).
So recommendations awaited please.
As an 'eternal newbie' on things re Linux and "Laptop brands", but the last time I was in your situation I found my solution at NovaTech. Bought a laptop to my own specification without any OS in stalled and, to date, three years later it worked as a good choice for me. Hoppe this helps.
