As some of you have noticed I've only been around a couple of times in the last couple of weeks, this was due to the unavoidable circumstance of my previous computer being turned into a big paperweight. During the first week I wasn't sure whether or not it was worth it to get another one, but looking at my classes for next term again made me realize that I really can't get by without one. Then the next week was deciding what to get, either second hand or a really cheap new system from a local brand, and I went with the second choice. I was able to get a pretty good system for a low price, hopefully it will last for several more years.

Local brand?
-
Yes, a brand I actually never heard of until a friend recommended it to me. So far so good.
-
Lenovo?
-
No. Hasee. Lenovo was too expensive.
-
Lenovo?
Lenovo's cheap?
-
In China it is.
-
Lenovo's unheard of?
-
Maybe in the US it's more famous. I'd never heard of them in the UK before I got here.

you can build a fairly decent system for less than $400 bucks. and if you salvage things like hard drives, or any kind of drives, cases, video cards, ect, you can get that price way down. buy a nice case and it will be the last one you need for many years (or at least until the form factor becomes obsolete).

I thought about going with a desktop (as your suggesting) because it is cheaper, but I decided against it because I need something I can take anywhere I need to. Portability is something desktops dont have.
In China it is.
I found a lot of its prices were comparible to other foreign brands like Sony. It was cheaper, but not by much. Their lowest end 14"-15" systems were no less than 4500 yuan.

Oh pshaw. They make harnesses for that kind of thing. And, let's face it, it's good exercise. :P

I know several people who use them and never had problems.

I've been pretty satisfied with mine...
-
I like mine. It has served me far better than any Compaq or HP desktop my family has ever owned (which is all of them).
