I too would like to put in a plug for Lenovo--not just the service but the
machines themselves. I have been buying, either for myself or my school,
computers for many years, and the two Lenovos I have owned (a laptop for
about a year and a netbook for about two months) are the best computers I
have ever owned. I purchased the Lenovo netbook even though, as far as I
know, it is not widely available locally, because the company earned my
repeat business.
BTW, I am convinced more than ever that netbooks are the short to
intermediate term future of computing in schools. I bought the netbook
somewhat as a "toy," but it has quickly become my favorite computer. (I
use five computers regulary: three that belong to me and two that belong
to my school.) The thing is light as a feather, and the keyboard is more
than adequate for my large-ish hands. And I have gotten almost eight hours
out of a single battery charge.
