I've just about had it with dells terrible cusomer service.
I've had the mobo replaced three times (third time will be this week), wireless card twice, and the screen three times. (with a replacement laptop sent somewhere in between all that). I love the 1330-- when it works-- but am really tired of always being out a laptop while waiting for their support.
I'm looking at the x301--- any thoughts? How bad is the integrated graphics?
I use this laptop exclsively for work--- lots of travel, so 13.3" screen is ideal (working on the plane, etc), and to watch the occasional DVD. But it will primarily be a road machine
Pound for pound, except for the video, it looks very similar to the 1330 (my dell has the LED screen, 64gig SSD, 4 gigs ram, 8600GS discrete video, t9500 c2duo processor) . How is the screen (currently have dells LED 13.3" on my 1330)? How does it handle abuse?
The last lenovo I had was a thinkpad r52 (typing on it right now, since my dell is fried). Love the keyboard, and the design is all solid. Are the new ones like that?
also, what kind of internal expansion does it have? I have a sprint broadband pci-x in my dell, which I would need to drop into the thinkpad (if that doesn't fit, it's a nonstarter for me-- I had USB devices, and I don't want to switch carriers).
Anyway, any other thoiughts would be appreciated.
