Re: Laptops: Is it a love or hate relationship?
Right now, I'm on a Dell Inspiron 5150.
And I only have two pieces of beef with it:
1) It's beefy. (I couldn't resist--but this thing has to be five pounds easily.)
2) Some things just fall apart. (I've had multi-day downtime TWICE since June...but I think that's a Dell thing.)
As for battery life--I've gone from a 12:20-2:15 lab to a short break (for the laptop at least--psychology lab) to the Horseshoe and its wireless internet to a biology lecture on one charge. If it can do that, it's good enough for me.
