Hi!
I want to buy a laptop but it's hard to choose between:
- Dell Inspiron 15R
- cpu - i7-720QM 1.6GHz
- gpu - hd 5650
- ram - 4GB
- hdd - 500GB 5400rpm
- Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 15
- cpu - i5 460M
- gpu - hd 5145
- ram - 4GB
- hdd - 500GB 5400rpm
Lenovo Thinkpad L512
- cpu - i5 450M
- gpu - intel GMA
- ram - 2GB
- hdd - 320GB 7200rpm
Now of course I'd like to have a Thinkpad L512 with the i7-720QM under the hood but that's just too expensive. Normally I would go for Dell but I'm not so convinced about the build quality/reliability of this model. With those monsters inside, I'm afraid it will burn or something...
I don't like so much the Edge 15's design (a single weird red power light and no hdd led etc.) but it should have an excellent keyboard and the rest also looks pretty good.
I really like the L512 model as it looks very well built but it doesn't have the performance of the other two. It has only the integrated intel video. However, it has the best battery life and it doesn't get hot. They say it has an outstanding keyboard and it is very reliable.
All of the models cost about the same, the Edge 15 being the cheapest and the Inspiron 15R the most expensive.
So what would you choose?
