Laptop advice on 08:32 - Feb 4 by DanTheMan | "I always like a seperate numerical keypad for example, and a DVD drive can be handy on top of your tech requirements." Thankfully these can both now be bought as add ons, via USB. |

Laptop advice on 16:51 - Feb 3 by giant_stow | My advice: don't be afraid to buy a second hand. I'm on an i7 x1 carbon, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd and its done me well. Can't even remember when I bought it, but the screen is caked in my coughs and sneases, so going by that, I reckon it must be 3 years old and going strong. |
X1 Carbon is a lovely piece of kit. Feels tough and well made despite being very slim. We use them for the directors at our place. |  | |  |
