Ram P If you can afford it, I recomend IBM Thinkpad series.......I have used the T series a lot and they are great. Very few problems if any and there i s a new recovery button on the keyboard itself so if you are not a techie then you can do your own rescue on time,in case of a disaster. nothing against any other brands but after using this, its hard to go back to dell or whatever/ let me know what the other thinkpad users think!
