[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 414177, member: 9512"] As far as laptops go, when I was working for the industrial controls companies, we used, Toshiba, IBM, or Acer, nothing else that was not ruggedised would stand up to the abuse on the factory floor. The ruggedised machines would be Panasonic Toughbook, or semi-ruggedised Siemens PG's. Since I have been buying laptops I first bought an Acer, then a Lenovo (IBM), then a Toshiba, because Mrs SW didn't "like" the Lenovo's at the time, this machine that I am using now is a Lenovo, 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM, i5 2.5GHz, which does me fine, and even runs VM's fine, and Ubuntu flies!!! This currently is Win7 Pro 64, I have it triple booting with Ubuntu & Mint for different uses! ;) [/QUOTE]
