Re: Windows operating system for new team laptop

I'd go for a used/refurb Dell Latitude E6xxx unit if durability is of concern. While Lenovo T series is good too, I've always had better luck with latitudes (less fussy with hardware changes, etc.). They're very durable and will (probably) only need replacement due to obsolescence.

I'd avoid Dell latitude E5xxx however... I had an E5530 that went through screen hinges and lids like potato chips. The E6430 I moved the guts to has been a lot better.

Last, Just my opinion, but I'd be wary of anything HP, acer/gateway, or Lenovo. I've never had good luck with any of those.
