TO buy Thinkpad 755cd or 755cdv????
Well, in about a year from now I look forward to buying a new IBM
ThinkPad notebook. I will be in the investment banking business, with
several needs that i hope a notebook of this class will offer. Some of
these things include: presentations, some multimedia, good power for
Spreadsheet, Word Processor, and other applications, and telephony
abilities (i.e. fax-on-demand services), to name a few.
I am really not sure what to expect in terms of a notebook, and whether
or not I am choosing one that will meet my goals and expectations. I will
buy a Pentium class chip, with at least 16MB ram, because this is all I
read about in terms of POWER.
THe THinkPAd 755cd in a year from now will be hopefully in my range of
purchase $4500-$5000 CDN, and if i don't get the CDV model I will purchase
an overhead display (i am not sure how much a decent one will cost in a
year or two). I heard, however, that the CDV model has a major problem in
that it overheats and melts when on the projector (this would not be too
nice given the cost of the machine). Therefore, perhaps the CD model
would be better for me.
I really need some guidance on the purchase of a notebook. Maybe i am
still not sure of my needs, but i guess i am not sure what exactly a
notebook of this class can do for me as compared to other models by other
computer firms. I look forward to some of your insight and information,
and I am enjoying being on the mail list.
BEst Regards,
Maury
