Man you guys are morons. How much experience do you have with different laptop manufacturers? Have you worked in deployments of hardware and analysed the failure rates and reliability? Do you actually know the specifications, or do you just look at the brochure and think more GHz is better? It's always people that don't actually know what they are talking about that have these stupid biases.

i bought a laptop same time my old dear bought hipster book.

hers has been replaced twice, f**k knows how many screens and keyboards and hard drives.

mine has had the ram and hardrive upgraded.

all in 2 years.

i download the nastiest f**king porn you cant even imagine from f**k hole virus filled websites.

she watches home and away and plays f**king facebook games.

keep your anal y sis. and your hardwaring.

ill take the pc please!

edit: mine cost less than half hers, and yes. i can play games on it.

[Plattsy]

expected response.

then why does everyone who switches to mac never go back?

because they realise they have spent close to 3 grand on a piece of shit laptop built for 5 year olds. but they've already told all their windows using friends how awesome it is, so if they go back to windows now they will look even more of a douche than the time they took some weird african woodwind instrument lessons to play at roderick and peppers love union ceremony.

acutallly yes, for a multi 1000 people deployment..

Lenovo's are best...HP worst...

haha just stop, you don't understand how hilarious you sound. Built for 5 year olds? You mean your cheap plastic laptop right? There's a reason it's half the price, because it's a piece of crap. There's no point arguing facts, because you obviously wouldn't understand the details.

I've deployed a dozen macbook air's in this office, they're great and dead simple for people to use which makes my life easier.

If it was more than 20, I'd move to windows and set everything up properly, because OS X deployments are a nightmare to manage for businesses.

The quality of the hardware is good, but the after sales support is meh... Can't just walk into a store, need to make an appointment, need to leave it to get checked out (and can't remove hard drives from the laptop first), need to wait for replacement parts to arrive, etc... Sorry, I can't have a user to be completely without a laptop for 2 weeks while it gets repaired.

Not usually a fan of Apple products as they like to only be compatible with their own shit... Guessing they still don't use Windows?

I like the look of them, they're nice to look at...

emts, where does Asus fall in your rankings?

I've had mine for years, dropped it on tiles from over a meter high... Cracked the screen casing but the screen itself was fine... Keyboard is partially detached but still works... Only the touch pad stopped working but I use a wireless mouse anyway so no loss..

It gets moved around a lot too so ssd is probably a good thing to have, having said that my normal one is still working after being moved around daily and being dropped...

This ^ HP are the WORST laptops, never seen so many problems.

Asus are decent IMO Dezz, I used to use one for study and dad has one its been fine for a few years now.

We use Dells at work, they're also pretty good we have a lot out there and rarely get them back with issues - you might want to wait for a Dell sale to come up if you were thinking Dell though.

You're definitely lucky if you've dropped it a few times / move it often and the hard drive is still working.. always first point of failure. Get SSD for sure on the next one

In a way...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

waste of time, to get the best computer you just go to the apple shop and pay whatever they tell you.

[funkymonkey]

not used Asus, as they much more consumer than corprate, heard good things tho.

if you looking for a grunty system, esp if doing gaming, look at the alienware series from Dell.
