A pro's pro laptop

 

This is a computer for people who like computers. It's now over 5 years old. It can't run Vista, it can't display HD video -- but what it does do it does damn well. I'm in the laptop repair industry and have sold and serviced dozens of different ...

Great Laptop for War Driving

 

I've had laptops for a while, I started out with a DELL Latitude 233mhz, and so far this is the best of the bunch out of at least 10 laptop models I have had. First things first, the T23 is thin and light. Its at least as light as many of the newest ...
