laptop advice

this laptop isn't the fastest, or the lightest.

It is, however, built like a tank.

I have been through many laptops in my years in this industry. The only ones which last as long as they do are IBM Thinkpads (now Lenovo).

I have 3 right now (380D, 770X, and R31), and am getting an R52.

The price of the R51 is about $1000, and it comes with XP Pro instead of Home (which is much better).

They also ship less crap pre-installed, unlike other vendors (esp. Gateway and HP).

Thank you,

Mitch
