The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

comparing 2 laptops "extras" so I don't get cheated - Thank you so much for helping.

Asked by webmastership in Miscellaneous Hardware, Hardware Components, PC Laptops

Tags: thinkpad

Ok, it's time I need some experts opinions. I don't know anything about laptops or much computer stuff at all but I know my husband wants a laptop for his birthday. I have two here from the same seller that I am comparing. I want to know if it's worth it to get the higher priced one or if the lower priced one is a better deal for what I'm getting. My hubby needs it for writing. He's wanting to write a book and he needs a traveling computer. He is also a teacher and would just like to have his work with him when he needs it. Being internet capable is a definite plus but I don't know how that works with laptops.   Anyway, the prices are the first one is 399 on half.com or the second one is 179 starting bid or 229 to buy it now on ebay. I don't have much money so if the cheaper one is the better buy for the buck, I'll get that one. But if it's junk I don't want it. I just need some help from you experts. Thanks for taking the time to compare these two units for me. Neither my husband nor I know much about these things, so we need to keep it simple. :)
Sincerely,
Heather
