Windows 7 on a Lenovo Ideapad S10e Netbook

Mac Air vs ThinkPad X300

You saw the envelope-stuffing ad from Apple right? “Na na naaa na na, na na naaa na na…” you know, the one that makes you feel like a douce-bag for owning a laptop that has a DVD drive in it? Yep, that’s the one.

Laptop Model Numbers are Confusing

I was looking around the web at some laptop’s from different manufacturers and while some are so clearly laid out from lowest to highest (Apple) others seemed to be named in a completely random fashion, making it impossible to tell a damn difference between them without seeing a side-by-side comparison matrix (Lenovo, Samsung).

IBM / Lenovo ThinkPad Support is Unbelievably Bad

Lenovo ThinkPad T60 Battery Life, 3.5 or 9 hours?

I currently have a MacBook Pro, and besides technically being a great laptop, the battery life (in my opinion) is really bad, around 2.5hrs.
