thanks, my last three have been Toshiba. The first one was excellent, but it crapped out in the middle of a trade, and I rushed to staples and bought a new one, same brand, but it was no way near the quality of the first one. When the second one broke a hinge on the lid I just went to their website and bought the cheapest one they had, a refurbished. I loaded it up with my ib trading screen and put it away for a spare. Finally the hinge on #2 got so bad I pulled out the #3 spare. I've been using that for the last 3 months and it has some kind of problem with the pointer. So I'm back on #2 with the broken hinge, and think I may be done with Toshiba.
I have bought many desktops from dell, but finally quit due to customer service. I'll google Lenovo T and get back to you if I have any questions.
Do you have any recent experience with dell laptop quality?
How do you figure no one uses a laptop? What if you go on vacation and you want to trade? Anyway, Asus is a good laptop..
thanks, I'll check it out
a laptop is a laptop, a computer is a computer. -- don't overthink what brand to get so much....after a week or two, you won't care so much.
search Amazon, good selection and reviews.
Better yet, scan eBay for something used -- that's where I got my current desktop PC. you can get much more computer/performance by buying a used desktop computer.

There's a difference between business class laptops and for home/vacation use.
It's hard to explain the subtleties if you are not doing business on the road a lot. Really silly stuff ( or so it would seem). Case ruggedness, but still classy (like a mullet). Location and availability of ports for when you really need to plug everything. A good support site with driver availability/compatibility. Turn around time for parts when its on warranty. Availability of parts when its not. Availability of docking, charging, case options etc etc.
Trading is a serious business requiring a serious hardware platform. Otherwise, just get the best price-to-performance you can get. It's all made in China. And if it's not. that's just un-American.

...That's an Intel i3 processor...kind of weak/old...get atleast an i5. and i personally prefer/use Windows 7...not a fan of Win8...feels like using a cellphone OS.
and 1366x768 resolution is on the low end...everything will look all scrunched up. . get something that has more pixels.
