Sony….
Daughter just fried the HD on the Lenovo. I’ve fried 2 HD’s in less then 2 yrs on Dell…..
Next one is Sony…..
Hard drives used today are not proprietary. all of the bigger named companies use name brand drives, such as seagate, western digital, toshiba, etc. if your lenovo is frying hard drives, it could be a bad run of drives.
Dell had a bad run of hard drives with their Latitude D600 series years ago.
The company i work for now uses all Dell products for fat client products, and HP for thin client products. my last employer, GE, one of the largest companies in the world, used all dell client machines, and we had good success with them.
now, for servers, and network level equipment, i have some pretty biased opinions, but, for client machines, find the options you want, for the price you want, and as long as its one of the bigger, more reputable brands, you’ll be just fine. kind of like the whole – chevy, ford, dodge thing.
