dover Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I am departing soon, and am in need of a laptop that is both reliable and durable. It won't be for games or anything like that. It will be for documenting reports, school work, internet access. I need it to be able to use a smart card reader with it (whether it is built in or attachable via USB). Must be a Windows based computer. I really don't think I want to spend a whole bunch on it, as the last pc I took on deployment died. Thanks computer guru's. I need at least a 160GB HD and a semi fast processor >2.5GHz. (I think I know what I am talking about here) PC's I have looked at: Dell Latitude E6400/E6430/E6500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I would buy a used HP Elitebook. I've been very happy with my Elitebook's. They have strong hinges and take well to 10 seconds 1/4 mile passes. Also if your going to be moving allot I'd get an SSD as they are less proan to failure due to shock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dover Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I ended up getting a great deal on a Samsung S540 Ultrabook. I love how light it is, and it is a one piece aluminum body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbs3000 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Lenovo X series, we have a few at work and they are the sickest work laptops under $1500. They are tough as all get out too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
