I purchased a brand new Lenovo X61 Tablet PC running Vista Business about 6 months ago. It's been a barely OK machine. I upgraded it to 3GB of RAM, defrag weekly, and yet it has been nothing but donkey balls. Seriously I'm not sure if it's Vista or the quality of Lenovo Thinkpads, but I am at my wits end.
Simple things like wifi don't work after standby mode. Random crashes and hangs are commonplace. Infuriating load times haunt me. The latest problem is new: Task manager won't even show up, even though it is clearly running as noted by the taskbar. (below)
Tomorrow, I will buy a Macbook Pro. I was burned by a first generation Macbook Pro previously, but of late it's pretty clear the new ones are totally a blissfully reliable, solid computing platform. I may never buy a PC again. Goodbye Microsoft, you've really screwed the pooch.
