[ale] [ot] Calling for Laptop Reviews

[Beddingfield, Allen]

While this is more of a generalized statement than an exact recommendation, I'm quite fond of the HP ProBook line.  Also, for what it is worth, I do a lot of buying/refurbishing/selling of computers and a lot of laptop hardware repairs for people.  I find that Toshiba and Sony are consistently the most problematic.  The Toshiba laptops just don't seem to be that durable, and the Sony parts are so expensive, even on EBay, that I would not consider one.  Additionally, almost every Toshiba I encounter has a broken power jack, or one that has worked loose and will eventually be broken.

Just my $.02 worth.

Guys,

I need some input. The company I am working for wants to find a good laptop, that is light weight, and hard working. Something a sale person can carry.

Thanks in advance.
