I'm getting really fed up with this laptop thing.
Lenovo jackassed around with the keyboard, and used plastic clips (in addition to screws) that hold the back cover onto the laptop. According to people on forums, they frequently and easily break when the laptop is opened for upgrades or repair/maintenance.
Dell dropped the entire Latitude 6000 line, but the plastic 5000 line now costs what the 6000 previously cost. In addition, they only waffle about how beautiful, slim, and manageable the laptop is. Yes, yes, you updated the looks and it offers every function a business notebook has ever had and which every other manufacturer also offers. Specs man! Show me the specs! I *can't* for the life of me, find out if their 1920x1080 screen is IPS or TN. And lastly, they now have a SHITLOAD of configurations which can be 'costomized'; which now comes down to selecting which OS you want, and which other software like virusscanners and office you want pre-installed.
I don't want that. Just give me a sane basic, medium and high-end configuration for the series, and then let me adjust it up or down as like I could 8 years ago. Now Lenovo finally has that option, while DELL lost it. In this regard, Lenovo and DELL have switched places.
And HP? If I want a configuration with an IPS screen, it becomes hugely expensive, like €1700+ with a mid-range CPU.
Meh. I'd rather chuck a 1TB drive in this old thing, and install Linux on it for home use. This thing can't run any game if it's 3D or newer than 2000.
*Grumpy* How hard can it be to offer me a laptop with good components that doesn't break when opened, for about €1500? It seems manufacturers ALWAYS have to do some sort of stupid thing that counts as a huge minus against their hardware.
