Nothing that I know of. Thinkpads always had the reputation of costing slightly more and being built slightly better. As for the other names, Dell, Toshiba, Sony, etc., they all had the reputation of being good and about the same. Some of the bargain laptops had the rputation of failing, or not being as well supported (that's actually quite important; to buy your laptop from someone who will supply you with a steady stream of updates specific to your laptop). IBM was great about that, who knows about Lenovo now that they own thinkpads. I just got a Dell and find their update software site extremely difficult to use, so I don't know what I think about their support yet. ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission Chip.Orange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) > -----Original Message----- > From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of J.
