Simulated Trading
If I were in the market for a laptop now (even though I am not), my top two major-market choices would be a 14-inch Dell Inspiron or a 13-inch MacBook. Averatec has many compelling options at the 13-inch level, as well.
This is all very odd.
I hate shopping for laptops, which is why I’m doing it for “fun” now, because they suck so bad I tend to find myself somewhat uninformed regarding current market offerings.
I don’t trust HP, no way, no how. The two key HP laptops in my life have two distinct problems:
- Short on the motherboard that prevents the laptop from being used on a non-flat surface
- Mal- or non-functioning USB ports
I know a lot of people do very well with them, though.
Toshibas are great, but they are quite delicate. They tend to have very scratchable surfaces and things that tend to go bump and click after use.
Compaq… ha! Gateway would be okay, I guess. Nothing much to be excited about. So, why not just a Dell?
Sony laptops are way too expensive when you go south of a 15-inch widescreen. Why you pay more for less eludes me, although it seems Sony is trying to charge you to be cool.
Anyway, this isn’t very interesting, so I’ll quit.
