Our company is going to be buying a dozen laptops in 6-12 months and I want to do some homework before then. These are for salespeople. The notebooks need to be ultra thin and very functional, and on top of that be extremely impressive looking. For me (the IT guy), they have to stand up to a bit of a beating and come from a company with a decent warranty and support.
Two years ago we purchased Vaio's from Sony. They are very impressive looking, but the support is pretty bad (one year warranty then zip, virtually no online FAQs/driver updates, etc).
My co-worker suggests gateway has decent notebooks, they look pretty good, and they have excellent support (key in the serial number and see all the hardware components and all the latest drivers...etc...not perfect I know but pretty darn good).
I'm dreaming of a brushed stainless steel shell...or something really cool. Price is not much of an issue here, we'd probably pay an extra $1000 for great looks.
So, what should I check out?
Thanks for your time.
