What laptops do Amigan's use in general?
« on: June 17, 2012, 07:36:37 AM »
First of all sorry about starting yet another non Amiga thread. But...

I was wondering what type of laptops people on Amiga.org use and if there are any favourites that Amigan's tend to use. I ask this as i intend to buy this little number this Friday coming up unless if i find something better  :D

Being a poor student it took me almost a year to save up for this so i'm really excited. I'm pretty brand loyal to Sony but i'm open to other ideas and opinions if anyone wants to give any.

How strange! The guy just raised the sale price to $1295. It was only $915 this afternoon when i paid for it!

Anyway i have been using an Acer Aspire 5315 for the last 4 years. It cost me about $400 and was meant to be a temporary solution and 4 years later it is still my main computer. The thing has pretty much been switched on for 4 years non stop and still going strong! But it's now too slow to even run firefox or MS office so this is going to be a treat :)

Also i thought it was interesting to see what everyone else was using although i couldn't see any patterns. I thought it was going to be maybe Apple vs everything else.
