If you desire real quality you need to shell out way ove 2000 euros.

It's not like Lenovo suddenly forgot how to make quality laptops, bro.
All I'm saying is that a newer model is better, because it incorporates some advancements.


And well why would you want to use any version of Windows is really behind my comprehension. The device I'm typping this with is running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS for example...
I used to use openSUSE as stable, and Fedora for experiment.
Family all used Windows (98, XP, 7).
Uni had Macs (OSX) and Windows.

Then life kicks in, and I found myself getting more and more frustrated with somethings in linux distros. Mainly drivers, and some browser problems. And occassionally having to dig/research things to do stuff. Though most of my frustration was with Fedora. Then openSUSE really slacked off/fell behind Ubuntu and Fedora (although I still say they're the best :P). And I really hate Unity/whatever direction Ubuntu is going.

So after all that, I got a Windows 7 laptop and just being using that as my main computer. I later realized it was superior simply for the fact that I could do some things for work, and got leave earlier from work. Just upload it from my house wifi when I got home.

Soon after I noticed my N900 was collecting dust and failed to start. Got a new battery and it didn't work. Managed to fix it thanks to TMO and played around with it again. Then later noticed it was picking up dust again. And when I got the OG NOTE, I've pretty much been experimenting with it. So whatever time I had for experimenting the desktop computer and N900, has gone into work and just playing around with the NOTE (and later note 3).

Linux just got too tedious for me.
And I didn't really have any friends who were interested in it.
They all used Macbooks or Windows, and had iPhones or GalaxyS'.

Oh, I also started playing video games, I bought a PS3... so that too.

To fill a niche purpose.

I [The Average Consumer] wouldn't buy a Windows Phone, they're simply inferior. But I could justify getting a Lumia 1020 for its camera purposes.

I wouldn't buy a Blackberry, but if it was necessary for a work network, then yeah its justified.

I wouldn't buy a Jolla Tablet, but if I'm interested in linux, or developing as a hobby, then yeah I would.

I don't know if that clarifies it. If my mum wanted a tablet, I wouldn't get her the Jolla Tablet, I'd get her the iPad. etc etc.
