Would there be a difference in support? > At least thinkpad is still supported by ibm, don't know if lenovo is. It would make a difference. The problem with lenovo is build and parts quality. If you need the support -- too much -- that it doesn't matter how good it is. Dell is the same issue. Inspiron is mostly junk. Latitude is durable. If you look deeper than the buzz words (cpu speed, screen size) you will see the difference (build quality, finish, chipset, or even as far as touch pad quality - alps vs synaptic - and keyboard quality). And as to your question, yes there is a difference in support. If you look at what you are paying for, part of it is corporate support vs. home user support. They take companies more seriously that regular users (unlike Sony for example that just ignore everyone altogether ...) > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
