Equinox...Sorry about that...
I have to remember to stay away from posting until I've had more coffee.
Yes. IBM Thinkpad.
We had looked at the Dell's. They cost more, for one thing, which wasn't the issue.
When I would call Dell, their customer service did not inspire me with confidence.
With IBM online, I was on the phone with my own personal rep within minutes. He was very helpful, as I've not bought a laptop before and did not encourage me to spend more than necessary, considering how we want to utilise it. We will also be purchasing a port replicator, so we can dock it when we're not on the road.
That Sony we bought had a bugging error on boot up, which, by itself, doesn't mean anything. Then, we hooked up a regular keyboard and it errored out when we took it off. It wouldn't recognise its own keyboard. Even with their restore software, it didn't run right for us. That always makes me nervous when I'm spending 2600. for a laptop.
The IBM has worked like the workhorse it is, right out of the box. All installs have gone in smoothly and the hardware hums. I can't ask for anything more than that, other than customer service. I've called them since delivery and my personal rep has been there for me, to answer all my laptop newbie questions. :-)
See how well I do, after 20 cups of coffee?
