I used to use Dell before I switched to IBM and twice my hard drive crashed on a brand new computer. Maybe it was me. I dont know but since I switched to IBM, Ive never looked back since.
This laptop comes with what IBM calls ThinkVantage Technologies. These are great for computing and traveling. Ok, so I used to drop my computer all the time but with the Active Protection System, which arms notebooks with hard-disk crash protection in case of a fall, I stopped worrying.
The Rescue and Recovery with Rapid Restore, which can restore lost data, applications and settings in the event of a software failure, even if the main operating system isnt working was also a plus. Only thing is you have to buy it online as IBM is not sold in retail stores. But it is well worth the online purchase. Visit https://ibm.com/thinkpads for more information.
