My 5 years old laptop is just retired today. Suddenly, the keyboard acted weird and I thought it was due to the virus, but nothing has been solved even after formatting the hard disk and updating BIOS. I think it is a hardware issue.. Recently, I replaced a stock 5400 rpm hard disk with the brand new 7200rpm speed one, so it might generate an excessive heat inside.
Anyway, I was supposed to replace my retiring laptop when the new chip (true 64bit) is coming out, but it doesn't look like that I can't wait for it any longer.
I am looking for an ultra portable size (about less than 4.5lb, < 14 inch screen and < $2k budget). I want to spend more money on scuba... LOL~~~~
There are a couple of choice in the market based on my quick research today:
1. Lenovo 3000 V200: Former IBM brand, but I am not sure after being sold to Chinese..
2. Toshiba Satellite U205-S5057: I was told a little bit bulky...
3, Dell XPS M1330 --- I have bought five Dell computers and all office computers are Dell. So, I am a little bit reluctant to take another Dell though.. Dell is alwasy tempting me...
Any experts from SB. I need to order it by today...
Thanks in advance,
