I am using an Acer right now, I am kind of a fan, but even I must say those specs are kind of low for that price. It the small size is the most important I guess it is not too bad, but I would think you should go for at least 2GB ram, Vista, and a dual processor.

I was told by people in the computer industry that purchasing a business laptop overa Home/Home Office laptop is better in the long run quailty wise and spec wise (that home office computers will break down faster in the future as to a business computer), is this really true?

Not really. Business users (and specifically business IT departments) and home users want and need different things. Businesses are more concerned about the computers being easy to support and using the same drivers, chipsets, etc… Thus manufacturers tend to design a business class notebook (or desktop) with a long lifecycle in mind. So when model x first comes off the assembly line, it has a specific network card, wireless card, video card, etc… They tend to keep making that same model with the same hardware available for long periods (12 - 18 months) of time. Few if any changes are acceptable to the business class user.

Home users want something entirely different. They want the absolute latest, greatest technology and the fastest, gee-whiz hardware. Manufacturers thus make many different changes to specific home use models during the life of the product. They may even have models that are available for only a few months before the next great thing is introduced.

As for reliability and whether either will break down, that is more a function of how well you take care of the equipment. Either model will become crap quickly if you abuse it. Most manufacturers offer accidental damage protection at an additional cost for their warranty. Spill something, drop the unit, etc… and they will replace it.

I’m getting a new laptop for my business, and I need to know wich is more productive.

Since Macs can run OS X and Windows, the answer is Macs. They offer the best of both worlds. Using Parallels, you can even run Windows applications from inside OS X.

Thinkpad T400 - $850 (with discounts, if you buy through Med Business, you can get discounts)
2.24 Ghz 3mb L2 cache Core 2 Duo processor
2.0 Ghz DDR3 Ram
160 GB 5400 rpm HDD
CD-RW/DVD
14.1″ LED Display 1280 x 800 (aka 720p HD, can’t go up to 1080p)
Intel 4500mhd video card (mediocre, can’t be used for gaming)
9 Cell battery (max brightness + Word + Firefox on youtube and hulu = 8:30 hours at 100%)

Will do a quick video showing how Windows 7 Home Premium runs on it around Oct 22.

I’ll try to get back to you if you have any questions or comments on it, or if there is something you want me to show on the laptop.
