| Help me find a laptop...
I need a laptop for work. We are having issues with DELL so we are not able to buy/lease from them for the time being. Most off the shelf laptops are good for what I do (Excel, Access, Outlook, Accounting Software).
Budget - $1000 taxes in
Brand - Something reliable
Must haves:
- Windows 7 Professional (ability to remote desktop is must)
- 4-5hrs of battery life
- 15" or better
- wireless
Everything else is optional.
If you guys can provide me some links that be great. Looking to pick up no later than boxing day. Not willing to stand outside to save $150.

^ I agree with the above post. Lenovo is a great laptop brand. I believe with your budget you can get everything you are looking for. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I was looking at some Asus ones from Staples last night. How good is the brand? Is it reliable?
Windows 7 Pro is no longer an issue. Once I purchase the laptop, the IT people will install it.

Fb and bb 
Go to ncix or memoryexpress.
When you buy, use shopbot.ca and price match.
