I prefer Sony and Lenovo (specifically for Thinkpads)
-Sony VAIOs have never done me wrong and between my family we have had several
-My father has used a think pad for years with very few issues.
-I'm not partial to just about any other brand
-Absolute NO to HP (far too many bad experiences)
13. What country do you live in? Canada
14. Please tell us any additional information if needed.
This is going to be a secondary laptop to my powerful desktop at home (2600k / GTX 570)
I'm going to be taking it around to class so more than anything, it needs to be quick, light, and have long battery life
I was looking at the Think pad x120e, which seems exactly like what I am looking for. And to speed it up I was hoping to slap an SSD in it for good measure.
