Stela, MTU's Laptop is your safest solution because we guarrantee Hoster and all our software to run on them.
As an example, the Laptops we are currently buying and reselling come with a DVD Burner that
WILL NOT work with CDG format discs.
Won't import/read... won't write/duplicate. Thus, we found and bought the last batch of drives we could find anywhere that are slim-line to fit into the Laptops we have.
We will stop selling our LC (Low Cost) Laptops once our current stock is out. It's becoming too much of a hassle and expense. That's one reason our support has gotten behind n the recent weeks... we have to totally (I mean TOTALLY) disassemble the Laptops to replace the DVD drive. Never seen such poor designs in my 40 years in computers.
We currently have a 10% discount on our Laptops. I'd seriously consider one if I were you. As you are already researching and fearing... you can buy something that will NOT work.
We ALWAYS say, download our Hoster and Microstudio demos and run them on the "target" computer. If they don't work right, don't use or buy the computer. If you can't do that, then be sure you have IN WRITING that you can return it for MONEY BACK (not credit to get another non-usable computer) if you are NOT SATISFIED. No other conditions. Get it in writing. PERIOD!
Be careful....
