[nfbcs] new laptop

[Nicole Torcolini]

Why not Lenovo? The company for which I work uses Lenovo laptops, and they
work fine. I joke about mine being the energizer  laptop as its battery
lasts for like 5 hours. I also don't know what's wrong with a Dell. My
personal laptop is a Dell.
In general, please try to give reasons for suggestions, especially if they
might just be personal preference.

Yes more RAM and a faster processor will fix this issue. Don't get Lenovo.
Go with HP, Asus, Samsung, viao...other good ones, but steer away from dell
or Lenovo

However, its become quite slow and freezes frequently. I know that jaws
causes is responsible for a lot of the lag. Would getting a new laptop with
more memory at all help with this issue, or does jaws slow computers down
the same amount regardless of memory?

Is this true? Should I stick with a PC if I want to do science and
programming stuff?
