    Almost 3 yrs

    I have been using a laptop, in the field for almost 3 yrs. I have two heatloss programs on in as well as Wirsbos ADS. I keep photos of jobs on the computer, as well as having my "Quickbooks" billing program. I have a small printer, and am able to give the customer a neat clean professional looking bill as soon as the work is complete. I am using an Acer travelmate 621. It has held up great for me, the only problems I have had was replacing the battery. I dont know that much about other brands such as dell and gateway. I purchased mine from a local computer company. I have had great service when I needed it (the battery) and when I have done something stupid to the software, they have fixed what I did free of charge. I probally paid a little more this way, but I have been very happy.

    Hope this helps
