As long as you stayed away from the Aspire line and choose one from the Travelmate line they were good value for the money.
In germany we had the (in)famous brand "Gericom", that build thick, hot, loud Pentium 4 laptops, sold mainly by the large retailers like Media Markt. They inevitably broke down (often literally!) after the warrany expired.
Thinkpads were unreachable for most, though there were good discounts to be had for students.
- don-code 4y agoI figured Gericom was an off-brand until reading it here. A friend of mine in high school had a Gericom Hummer - desktop P4 chip with some insane heat pipes and a large fan, and a single desktop DIMM slot for memory. The bottom came off in two pieces: one for the mainboard, one for the "other stuff" like the hard drive and battery. I'd never seen anything quite like it.
