Ray only sees one post per monitor, though.

It's this new laptop - the keys are very sensitive.

I'm sure if you'd bought a MacBook, this wouldn't have happened.

Hi there Nettie,

For desktop computers at work, I have previously bought Dell Precision workstations, then we bought a couple of Dimensions which have worked fine with most things bit slow with photoshop but they are getting on abit now.

I like to be able to work from home as well as work, so bought a Dell Precision laptop a few years ago in fact have 2 of them M90's, which have been great and problem free.
Then a couple of years ago I saw Lenovo launched their ultimate workstations W700, they were really expensive, over $4000 I think(nothing I wanted to try and afford [Smile] ), anyway I bought one that was one year old, at a great price, with 2 year business warranty left.

Its got Intel Extreme processor, 8GB memory, 1gb graphics card it had 2 500gb 7200 harddrives running as raid 0, but I changed that put a 300gb SSD in and kept a 500gb 7200 drive for for files etc, have always taken an extra monitor in a montitor case with me, so like all computers at work, I use it as a dual monitor set up, which makes life so much easier. I love being able to work on one screen and watch video tutorials, or work from customer artwork, or google for information, or use the other screen as a tool dock, find it really hard to work otherwise these days.

Its a great tool, they seem to come up on ebay every now and then.

http://cgi.ebay.com/IBM-ThinkPad-LENOVO-W700-T9900-3-06-WUXGA-3YR-l-W701-/160612729252?pt=Laptops_Nov05&hash=item256543c1a4

They dont make the 17" at the moment which is a shame, but it certainly doesnt feel dated in any way, rates really high on windows experience about 7 which is pretty good. I bought mine from an IBM tech, and ordered an extra power supply from Lenovo and it came next day with UPS, so they work well servicewise, like Dell.

Harding - probably wouldn't even have had to type, would I? It would just read my mind.

(See...Henry has the same disease)

Raymond,

If it read your mind, it wouldn't have posted at all... it would have just taken a nap!
