    In the market for a new gaming laptop. Advice needed.

    It'd be a no brainer for me: Get the SSD myself and install it. For the exact same reason you give: You'll have a blast learning. Installing goes the same as with old tech drives: just plug it in, boot up, and install Windows. Don't clone Win from an old drive to the SSD, you should allow the...

    Budget Business Laptop Recommendations?

    There's only 39 models in total that are current and vpro compatible (https://msp.intel.com/find-a-vpro-system). Take a pick. My first 2 suggestions from my initial response here, the Lenovo T430 and Probook 6470, both are listed. The third suggestion (4340s) was an alternative. 4340s was...

    Laptop Buying Assistance - Word Processing and Limited Video Editing

    HP ENVY Ultrabook 4 or 6. Very portable, i5, 6 or 8GB ram, both come default with 32gb SSD + 500gb hdd. I'd prefer a SSD only solution, especially for video encoding, and use external storage. If that's good for you: Lenovo Edge E530. These options should fit your budget nicely.

    I was looking for a similar setup here: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1628191/enterprise-notebook-ssd-win-pro.html#10521866 It's VERY hard to find a 14" SSD laptop with an interesting price.

    Looking for: Enterprise notebook 14" - SSD - i5 - win 7/8 Pro

    I've made a pick and am recommending the Probook 4340s with 128GB SSD (will build it in ourselves) and 4gb extra ram. The combination of these 3 is 606,71€. The price advantage will cover for work hours in swapping the drives easily. It's made out of aluminum, the sturdiness makes up for it's...

    Looking for: Enterprise notebook 14" - SSD - i5 - win 7/8 Pro

    Hi there, first time poster but hardly new to the hardware scene. I'm looking for a new base model for our enterprise to replace our current HP Probook 6560 & 6360 setups. I liked those models, they offer a sturdy design and hardware that remains potent for ~3y with solid warranty. Only looking...
