I've been a fan of Lenovo after the Ideapad Y500, just a solid laptop overall.

But can it survive a 10 ft fall or a 200 pound big man sitting on it?

Have fun playing with almost 10 year old laptops LOL. I would agree, the original IBM Thinkpads were great, but I haven't seen a huge decline in quality since Lenovo took over, and I've deployed thousands of these in corporate environments.

so how about those x60/x61? just about the biggest pieces of **** i've ever had to work on. :))
iDevices. Apple is not deserving of fanatical worship, but they make a solid portable media/web device.Snuggies.
+1 for the Snuggie! I love mine.Show Image(http://i2.cdn.turner.com/money/galleries/2009/fortune/0904/gallery.okeefe_infomercial.fortune/images/snuggie.jpg)

I personally hate iDevices because I like to tinker with stuff, and hate playing the jailbreak/upgrade/jailbreak again game, but I do applaud them for making a very user friendly experience. My two year old can work an iPad and easily do everything he needs(watch alphabet songs and other learning videos on youtube), which he can't do on other devices.
Tuscan Whole Milk. I thought it was all hype, how could a $45 gallon of milk possibly be better than any milk you can pick up at the corner store. Well, boy oh boy was I ever wrong. When the box arrived from Amazon I immediately opened it. Out popped the milk, handing me a note reading "I've been trained to gather fruit for you as a welcome gift." Lo, a few moments later the milk was back with a lovely basket of exotic fruits and some beautiful flowers it had found for me. Needless to say I was stunned, and the day just got better as the milk proceeded to cook me a 6 egg omelet and fresh squeezed orange juice, and gave me a foot rub as I ate. I must say I was skeptical, but I can honestly say Tuscan Whole Milk has improved my day to day life in almost every facet.
Visual Studio Ultimate (Either 2010 or 2012), the load testing suite and performance profiler alone are worth the extra $$$$
Head and Shoulders Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, worth the extra 10% over the generics

I personally like the iPhone because it is really simple. Allows me to do things I want to do on the fly with ease which is the purpose for me getting a cellphone in the first place.

What specifically about them was so terrible? I'm not a Lenovo fanboy, so feel free to bash if you have a legitimate gripe. I just prefer Lenovo because I have had better experiences with that brand compared to HP or Dell in large deployments, they seem to die less often. An example of what I am talking about is the video chipsets used in Dell and HP laptops, where the solder joints get fragile due to heat issues and it starts to separate from the motherboard after 2-3 years(right about the time the warranty period expires coincidentally). It doesn't effect all of them, but it is a common issue that I have seen.

I hate VS even more than LispWorks (which I already f-ing hate). Slow, bloated, ugly, full of ridiculous bugs. I've appreciated only two things about it during last few years: debugger that can be used by illiterate idiots, and quite readable code in assembly.

I can get 4 gallons of raw/unhomogenized/pure milk here for that price.
I love my custom Android ROMs, but yes, crashing and freezing is a big problem, and I've gone through many different ones over the years on various devices. iPad 4's very stable, relative to that. Sometimes Safari will crash or a 3rd party app (need to read reviews), but it's uncommon. Also amazing battery life!
Overrated? overpriced?

My iPhone is good but super over-rated... but that goes for all Apple stuff tbf... non of it is really 'bad' but most of it is rated as if it was hand crafted by Jesus
My OH is using my iPad for a conference abroad. He took it to check e-mail, read the web, and such. But we remembered that there's a lightning-to-VGA dongle (was available at the conference center) for a projector, so he actually ended up giving his presentations from the iPad. And then using apps like Sugarsync, he could access all of his recent papers and plots from his work computer that are auto-synced very quickly. And then also take notes with a nice stylus I got (there's an app by Evernote that allows written notes and syncs them through Evernote). Anyway, it could be done on other devices, but I still think it's awesome, given the stability and nice screen size / resolution of the iPad (4 in my case). I know my next mobile thing will be a Windows 8 tablet with an 11.8" screen or so, or maybe one of those foldable ultrabooks that can convert to tablets, but they are still really expensive at the moment, and the iPad's been great for small things. Very happy with it.
(P.S.: the only real need for a more portable "work" machine in my case is for travel... but I find that while traveling on conferences, not much work is done remotely anyway. To run a program or check on progress on a remote work / home machine, there are remote connection apps, even for iPad (such as teamviewer). Our household has not had a need for a laptop for a few years now--we sold off all of our laptops and netbooks).

hahaha yeah.
You see, what i enjoy the most about iDevices is that they work together flawlessly. My dad has an iPad, my mom has one, i have an iPad mini (lol) and an iPhone, plus we have a Mac server at home. It all works flawlessly together, server has months of uptime to backup stuff/print stuff, and so on. While both my other computers work properly (ok the ubuntu one is a little ****ed up), i'd say Apple make solid stuff in terms of stability. It's pretty rare to see some iDevices have some lags.
None of my iDevices are jailbreaked yet, but i'm planning to do it on the iPad just for the free stuff. But right now i like it this way, i take notes in classes or at job and they all pop up on the iPhone and on the main computer via the web client.
It's not informatics made easy, it's simply informatics done right. It does limited stuff, but the little it may do versus a Windows machine, it does it better, way better.

I jail broke my iphone becasue I really dislike how iOS works for nearly everything... waiting for them to hack in chatheads for notifications too...
iOS7 fixes non of the real issues I have with iOS though... which is the horrible way notifications work... and I still think that the way my hacked iphone multi-tasks is better than Palm's (how iOS7 works)...

If you are referring to the ability to sync data across Apple devices (mail, calendar, contacts) that's thanks to Microsoft Exchange Severs that Apple uses (at least they did a couple of years ago.)
Other than being extremely overpriced (which is why most people REALLY like Apple - status symbol) and heavily restricted and monitored (big brother anyone?) I like Apple stuff. They look pretty and the software is pretty solid.

Explain multi-tasks on a 3.5 inch device please.
I'm really having a hard time with this expression... except audio on earphones and another app on the screen, i hardly see how you can multi-task on an iPhone lol.
Send screen shots of your Hacked device please.

Yeah that's fair enough I guess. There are things you can run in the background but they are limited, I'd love the multi-screen/tasking stuff that I think the Galaxy 4 has(?) but I don't think the iPhone's screen is big enough to make that useful, though on an iPad I'd 100% want/demand it becasue it seems insane to me that you can't... but anyway...
I guess what I meant was the app switcher, the stock iOS one is garbage and simply displays a ****ty row of icons which tell you little about anything, with this hack (can't remember the name sorry) I can see what the programs are I have running in standby mode by looking at them, which means you can (and I have) had notes open to something so you can glance at it while in another app. It also gives you some toggles for settings and a better music controller;Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/NEpgtUM.jpg)
it's not a revolution, but its the best solution I've come across on iOS, and better than thePalmOS iOS7 version.
