1) Lenovo's business models
2) HP business models
3) DELL business models

Try to get in touch with the possible models (physically, I mean) to try
them out. The HID's (Human Interface Devices) differ widely - keyboard
feeling, "mouse" type, "mouse" feeling, monitor - and it's up to you,
which one is the best for you. For example there are two types of
"mouses" on laptops - trackpoint joysticks and touchpads, and at least
from touchpads there are 2 different types available. My personal choice
is soft touchpad by Synaptics (which is used eg. by HP), but yours may
differ. You use the machine via HID's and if they're horrible, using the
machine is horrible. If using the machine is horrible, it's waste of money.
