I was asked which laptop to buy.
I won't be replacing my personal laptop (i7 640M, SSD, 8GB RAM),
But I can't recommend it because its battery life is short, it's heavy, and the design is outdated. The performance (speed) is fine.
Which one? You can't recommend discontinued ones, right? I'd like this one. I don't think anything interesting has been invented in the last 10 years.
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
