I like Toshiba brand myself and I have two here, this one and and older one. They are like the energizer bunny..........keeps going.........going............going.
Of course, now I'm suddenly going from Windows whatever to Windows 7 and all of these other good ideas. The function keyboard keys are rearranged, so I'm touching the wrong keys and typing "not" what I want to type. I downloaded Firefox, but I have not found my Bookmarks options yet. Some kind of way I've got to get my tool bar back.This is no fun.
HP may be going to sell off the PC and laptop business, like IBM did with their part of the business. They simply sold the whole deal to Lenovo who were making the PCs for them anyway. Ian
MM, Did your fan on your laptop fail? Ron
Good dayI know I will have response on both sides of this argument but for the money you are best to go with a MacBook Pro 13 or 15 Inch. Take the max extended warranty offered and you should have her set for her college career. Apples for apples you just cant beat the reliability and the service you get from Apple. We switched to Apple 4 years ago and our over all cost for computers has dropped by almost 50% year on year as compared to the PC system we used to run. We have about a dozen of them in the family and all the Lap tops (8 of them) have replaced desk PCs and 3 Mac minis that are running in place of 2 desk PCs we kept as backup that rarely if ever run. One of them has not been turned on in 2 years if not more. The other one only runs when we need the scanner. We have not replaced the scanner and we cant get Mac drivers for it but will be replacing it before the year is out. We will be PC FREE! BEFORE the switch to Apple we had 10 desk PCs, 2 PC servers and 6 Laptops. Total 18 computers. Today we run 8 laptops, 1 Mac Mini as a server 2 Minis as entertainment system brains/servers. Total 11 computers. Saving maintenance, software Licensing and hardware replacement cost on 7 computers is a good sized chunk of change. Licensing alone can save a hundred bucks +, a year minimum. The Mac will save you significant $$ in the long haul and is almost always more computer for the money. If you add in the cost of soft ware and licensing well thats were Apple is so far out in front the competition cant even run in the same race.You will not regret the decision to go with a MacBook Pro. Dependign on here need you may find she will be very happy with a MacBook Air. They are a lot of computer for the price and my Daughter working in the university environment every day in recruiting, says that many students find that the Air is more computer then they need and it is half the weight to lug around campus.
Shoulda went Toshiba. Mac won't do what I need done.
So are you hanging on to this one, now that "tap" is disabled?
I'm pretty sure that will be futile Bandmill, as it's needs Trimble Pathfinder Office to correct positions and ArcPad to edit, plus ArcMap, fGIS or Maptitude to deal with GIS and map generation. I'm not interested in hack programs from parties that come and go from the scene for months and years between updates. Everything I submit has to be a shapefile and a Trimble *.SSF file.
Now, if I can figure out how to keep the touch pad from resizing my pages. I can "Ctrl" scroll and fix it back, but I didn't want it to change.
Sony Vaio is the best short of a mac air which is too much money for what you get. I made the mistake of getting a laptop with a 17" screen and hate it, just too big for me.
