Thomas Thu, 12 Jan 2006 16:16:05 +0000 http://baltimoremick.com/blog/2006/01/11/tools-of-the-trade/#comment-240 I saw the post about the Acer Travelmate 8200, and I have to admit that it looked real nice. Even better, though, is its price and feature set. I just wish it did not say Acer ;-) Personally, I have been eyeing up the Alienware laptops. I keep wanting to pull the trigger, but I keep talking myself off the ledge every time I get close. Like I said, Apple's products are well-designed. I will even give them credit for the way they made a UNIX OS approachable to the masses. Nonetheless, you pay a heavy premium for those machines.
