Re: Laptops: Is it a love or hate relationship?

I plan on getting an Apple Power book for college, where I work we recently switched over to using laptops, for mobility reasons, many people work out of office, and now they can easily bring it with them (along with Citrix). We've had some problems with them like theft and them breaking (dead mb after 6 months in 3/4 in the first shipment we got) but overall I love them and the other office employees do too

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.
My parents use dells and they love them but one of my beefs with dell, is that their speakers are so low quality. I dont know if its improved becasue my parents laptops are about 2 years old. I just remember trying to listen to music and watch dvds and i could barely hear them. My compaq has JBL Pro speakers in them and the sound is amazing. I mean i still plug in my creative 5.1 speakers when i am at my desk. But at school and on the road my internal speakers are amazing
