Hi
Advice needed on a potential laptop purchase
I want to buy something that will mirror my desktop computer for when I'm on the road
Primarily it will be used for Outlook email and to run a large Dropbox
I want to buy a laptop that has enough storage so after a year of use it doesn't get slower and after 2 needs replacing
Any suggestions on a brand with a huge amount of processing power and storage that won't need replacing after a year of two ?
TIA

I have been partial to Think Pads ever since a shop owner told me that these seem to be the brand that he sees the least of for repairs....

I bought a Lenovo E440 here - months ago - and upgraded it with further purchases here on AX of 2 x 8GB RAM strips & 512GB Samsung SSD from a CX freighter pilot - and then boosted it up with Windows 10 free of charge.
I'm very satisfied with this E440 model - which is not available any more - Of course I'd like an even faster i7 CPU and a slightly slimmer body (this latter point also refers to my body-shape too ).
If you think you REALLY need a 1GB SSD, there's a choice of two different manufacturers' SSDs being advertised here from "Southside" @ $1900 - but will reduce to $1800 if pressed.
No It's NOT me!
I did consider one, but really can't justify the purchase when my 512GB SSD has masses of space on it!
I concur with "Ed (5 days ago)" - I've had many Thinkpads that lasted & lasted whilst "Off Brands" were found to have limited Life-Expectancy even in my gentle hands.
Go get a Lenovo Thinkpad, the Ideapad (I have tried one model) and was dissatisfied with it as it was built :Down to a price" - and swiftly re-sold it here as it was too slooooow....
My family's Lenovo Netbooks from several years back were retro-fitted with a 160GB SSD & that was a vast improvement in start-up & close-down speeds, and additional RAM helped too!
