"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
12 October 2007Now that's an upgradeI asked Trini about Lenovo desktops — we all know about their ThinkPads — and she pointed me to this product listing. The lowest of the low is a mere $399 and runs off an Intel Celeron processor; the OS is Windows Vista Home Basic. For an extra $50, they'll give you, instead of the Celeron, a real Pentium Dual-Core. And you get Windows XP Professional, rather than any flavor of Vista. "Of course. It's a better operating system," said Trini. She'd probably say it to Steve Ballmer, too.

Bad design as even a brief power drop will drop the network connection. Yes, get a UPS for your laptop docking station. T61 ThinkPads - So far on a series of corporate installs ... bad driver juju.
