Debating

I have been debating on a laptop for a few months now, and actually I'm still deciding,,,I love the Lenovo look , but I also like the look of some of the Dell's!

What I am wondering does anyone KNOW if Lenovo is planning on any new releases in the next month or so? I plan on ordering it by Mid-March to end of March, somewhere around there, I want the laptop by April the 14th! I am just waiting on all the new releases to be released so that I can acquire them before my order..Will waiting benefit me any? Still deciding between a Dell and a Lenovo, y'all help!! Thanks

What is the best way to order a Lenovo? How do you set up an account to pay monthly with them?

What is the newest Lenovo?

What is the best Lenovo?

Is the graphics card in the Lenovo brands a good one for movies?

I will be using this laptop mainly for vacations, watching movies, checking email , and stuff of that nature! No gaming..

I can spend between 800-1500, but prefer the lowest price, of course!

 

There's probably not going to be much change in the T or R series notebooks since they just rolled out the new Penryn CPUs without changing much.

There's some new X series notebooks coming, the x200 and x300. The x300 only has a SSD hard drive which means its price will reside north of your stated budget. I haven't seen much yet on the x200, but I have heard it will be similar to the X61.

I find the best way to get a ThinkPad is to order directly from Lenovo. That way you can customize it the way you want. I don't know much about the financing end of it since I just paid with my credit card.

What's best for one person is not necessarily the best for another. You should probably think about what you need and see which ones have it.

If you are not gaming get the integrated graphics card. They have better battery life and less heat. Movies aren't that demanding for a DVD. I think most people would say a glossy screen is best for movies since it is much brighter and more vivid. They can produce some glare which some people don't like. They are particularly bad in well lit places like an office. You should probably check some out at a store to see which you like best. The only ThinkPad with a glossy screen option is the R61i.

 

You again? I’ve seen here before debating between the Dell Inspiron and the Lenovo. I’d suggest you look at the Dell for your purpose mostly for the connectivity. You say you just want to check email and watch movies on vacation – maybe check out some stuff on the internet and do some word processing, play a game here and there. These tasks really do not require the latest and greatest stuff.

I just bought a $499 Gateway for my parents and they love it – they can hook it up to the TV, play a few games to pass the time, load and edit pictures from the digital camera, and send tons of emails. It’s a fun laptop….more fun in many ways than my ThinkPad I have to admit. For you, the Dell 1525 has VGA video output, S-Video output, HDMI high definition video output, and a card reader – any one of these are perfect and can connect to a variety of TV’s and cameras you’ll find on the road and at home. The Lenovo ThinkPad doesn’t have this kind of connectivity, they only have VGA out.

Don’t think too much about what’s coming out next because, whatever it is, it’ll be too much for what you need. Spend no more than $600 for the most connectivity (VGA, DVI, HDMI, Integrated Camera, and Memory Card reader) you can get.
