Lenovo U350
Having once spent a better part of the year to research this issue, I can now tell with utmost confidence. The very short answer would be that I do not know. The laptop market has a very vivid life to it and all you can tell for certain is, that you do not know. Do a bit of research and remember that the glove has to fit the wearer. Basically, there are three measuring sticks one normally uses when bying products: price, availability, quality
In laptops however, the yardsticks that they are made by are: weight and size, price and performance
Which are somewhat different from the yardsticks the consumer uses
- Recommendations by friends or trusty experts or stores
- Colour of the laptop, as well as the overall esthetic appeal
- Price, sticker price or monthly, for however many months
And what one should look is
- Pennies per day, how much does a day of this thrill cost. The laptop will be old after six months and obsolete after 18 months. It will last 36 months with 75% chance, but it will not be any fun.
- Fitting the role, is this really what you want. Have you really seen it? Fiddled the keys? As everyone who ever bought a car knows, this is an important factor and you cannot read it in the brochures.
- Headache factor, how well it does its job, without breaking down. How easy it is to get fixed, when something happens.
Just to make it even more interesting, I can guarantee that there is no way for a consumer to get what they want to have, need for their use or the exact perfect fit for their purpose.
