  1. Yep, when I worked at logica (circa 2008), I got a bulky Lenovo. Other consultants had very thin laptops from HP or apple. In 2008-2009, I was using Eclipse (A memory hog) to develop in Java (At that time, it was a memory and CPU hog) and I could enjoy a video while comparing code of two projects and dealing with code versioning (SVN at that time). And of course, I had a local web server "servlet enabled" with a local DB. That bulky was very powerful and even had the ability to destroy data (password protected and ability to blow the hard-rive). It had something called 3D secure/protect. If the PC received a choc or fast acceleration, everything would freeze to protect the data and hardware. With that model, if it had to be replaced, data was definitely lost. So we had to ensure everything was backuped. (Which was done by the company at that time) So, definitely, a business class Lenovo is maybe not the best gaming gear, but it can take a lot before giving up. I have no idea how they fare today tough!
