Don't say it is expensive. Say you can't afford it |

Seun: I'm now considering the Dell XPS One 27 Inch All-In-One Desktop. I go with you on this one Seun Durability should trump movability even at that small form factor system units exists The energy costs is something to look out for though Yet I expect you to have implemented alternate energy supply in the likes of wind power or solar Dell Precision workstations would have been the way to go but though they are well built,their pricing is pretty steep I was at this conundrum last year and elected to clone an HDMI capable system unit (3TB,8GB RAM, AMD 3.1 GHz 8 Core black edition) over shipping in a laptop with similar power for insane money I don't regret my decision even though PHCN's reliability is like a yoyo My main need for the system is virtualization, however it can be deployed as a mini server,media entertainment center,gaming PC etc in future Also its upgradeable i.e. processor ,additional disks and memory Let future needs factor in your decision too You can get competent system engineers to clone your system Quality structured cabling will give you a neat work environment and mini chassis casings a less bulky appearance As long as you purchase boxed high end components, you are in for a treat Wish you the best in your final decision 1 Like |

Hello @Seun, i suggest u go for any HP or ELITE quard core i5 or i7 with a very high processor and RAM speed, also make sure its UK product though, might more expensive compare to other countries. |

Just to clear the air on the Secure Boot. It's actually an advantage, not a restriction. http://www.howtogeek.com/149254/if-i-buy-a-computer-with-windows-8-and-secure-boot-can-i-still-install-linux/ |

All I know is that my HP Pavillion dv 5-1388nr Entertainment Notebook PC, with HP Media smart, core 2 duo, windows Vista, home premium.. Its my PlayStation, its my WorkStation. It Has never disappointed me. Always up and doing. Hit her up and she's good to go. Its always there for me, its so faithful, so loyal and very reliable.. Its my life, its my everything, its what I live for. I'm a bad romantic and I love my HP Pavillon like crazy. When my kid brother broke the screen, I almost wept, not because I couldn't change it but because I love my gadgets intact just the way it was when my uncle brought it for me from Texas and when it comes to computers, I think HP is and established Household name. 1 Like |

lordZOUGA: I think you should consider the Lenovo ThinkPad T series. ThinkPad T530. it comes in different configurations, ranging from core i3 to i7. it should be a good choice. i concur! the ibm lenovo thinkpad is my choice anytime any day! |

I prefer the Samsung laptop ATIV Book 8 15.6" Touch-Screen - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive below. The chronos series 7 that I used before runs up to 5 hrs on battery. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/ATIV+Book+8+15.6%22+Touch-Screen+Laptop+-+8GB+Memory+-+1TB+Hard+Drive/8965053.p?id=1218957864443&skuId=8965053&st=NP880Z5E-X01UB&cp=1&lp=1 If you are not satisfied you can upgrade the RAM to 16 gb and change the HDD to Solid State. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009NHAEXE/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008MZAW1C/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also because its very slim just like Mac book Pro retina display, it does doesn't come with internal drive but you can order one for $30 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006HUMYCO/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 NOTE - You will notice significant improvement if you can change the internal HDD to solid State, my former Samsung Chronos Series 7 comes with 750gb HDD. What I did was to remove it and put 250gb SSD and turned the 750gb Hdd to external HDD. After this the laptop boots to windows within 10-15 sec and I also notice better improvement in general speed and battery life of the laptop. 1 Like |

If you have the money , simply go for macbook . Macbook got all u need for your program. No lapy can challenge mac in any way. Battry long life, ur sceen can't hang in the prosses of ur work you can leave on for a montge without turning off and yet nothing happen to it, it can't even get hot like some of lapy does when keot longer on light.. And somany reason for u to go for macbook. If all laptop are the same ? Where is ur own macbook. It can never be like macbook unless it's macbook. Think wise and make the right choice. |

aitoehigie: Why should he go for the T410 while he can go for the T430 on which he can have his desired SSD plus the regular HDD with backlit keyboard to boot. IMHO, they are the best laptop to use in hot regions like Nigeria, they never get hot and you spill liquid on them, they have got drains! |
