just got my W500, one of the best laptops I have used, replaces a Dell laptop that is only good for a door stop!!
I would say that another great mobile workstation that is even higher-end than what Dell, HP and Lenovo have to offer is the NextDimension from NextComputing. Check them out here: http://www.nextcomputing.com
Dual quad-core Xeon or Opteron, Quadro FX 4600 & 5600 SDI cards, terabytes storage and up to 24 GB RAM! There is no better mobile workstation on the market than what NextComputing has to offer! I have one of these for personal use, and it is the best thing I ever purchased (as everything in the machine can be upgraded, making it obsolete-proof!)
The only drawback is the price, however this machine is an investment that could save a person (or a company) thousands of dollars of expenses in the future since everything can be upgraded in the machine. A premium quality product…or as I like to call them the Mercedes of Mobile Computing!
I just got my W500 to replace my T60p. At first, I was real excited – the W500 was a bit smaller in size – also the screen size, but not as much so it worried me any… But when I started it up, I got real worried. Even though it has 1920 x 1200 resolution, it’s worse than the T60’s 1600 x 1200!!! The resolution doesn’t look better at all, rather worse. Strange and annoying!
