Laptop Recommendation?

Discussion in 'Hardware' started by loyek590, May 7, 2015.

  1. I have some Lenovo L512's. I don't like the placement of the connectors. They are on the sides instead of the back unless I spring for a docking station... and the connector for the external display doesn't have threaded hole for attaching the cable, it comes loose very easily, I added double stick tape... I'll check things like that before I buy anything again...

    Yikes. Definitely not typical IBM quality. Do note that L to T series is like comparing a Dell Inspiron 3000 to a Dell XPS.

    Thanks for reporting.

    Not really. Going back to school to upgrade me to " Self 2.0 ". Half (maybe more) of ET posters are bonafide IT experts.

    However, Scat and Winston are our SME's. They are ever present, very responsive and light years ahead of most people. I would go as far as purchase gear they recommended 2 years ago.

    yes, Winston gave me some very good advice when I was contemplating going auto. Something to the tune of, "Don't do it unless you can do it yourself or you want to marry your programmer, because it is going to be a lifelong commitment."

    I was naïve, I thought teaching a computer how to trade might be an enjoyable hobby

    The domain knowledge and skills required is daunting and at times unfathomable for me. But, even running canned strategies from various schools/methods have their value.

    You will accelerate the mastery of performance profiles of various trading methods and use it to improve your discretionary trading. Have ability to your test your methods on even more trade data without putting in so much screen time and lost hair.

    The best trade filter is still between your ears, incredibly complex, difficult to program and not available from a store.

  8. I would suggest you ASUS 15.6 inch laptop because asus is bulding trust among people, lenovo is also good but when it comes to service on site support of lenovo is really disappointing.

    I like onsite warranties, they are a great convenience when you need them. Who did you purchase your onsite warranty from?
