Twinhead are known as IBM clone..
My uncle was using a Twinhead quite a few years back,about 5-7 years ago..It was pretty good and durable..Not bad..

Twinhead has two unique features : spill-resistant keyboard & drop-proof
few years back i was considering this brand too but there were complaints about its loose hinges after using for some time.
i'm not sure about its improvement in recent years coz i'm more aware of those major brands

I bought a TWINHEAD for RM7K and after 1 year the CD-Rom broke down and then the fan and then the HD. I swore never to buy this again....Now Happy with DELL....

I think Twinhead's hey-days are over... Seems to be losing market penetration for years.... it was pretty hot some time back... hardly see an ad for Twinhead nowadays really.

Hoho! I just bought Dell Inspiron 6400, and suddenly my mom have the urge to get one too.
At first decided to try other brandsas well...and it came up that twinhead 12D suits my mom's preferences. Hmm, somehow after seeing thru this thread Im starting to have second thoughts.
Haha....whats worse, this thread is being filled with DELL owners....kekeke!
Let see now, maybe I should go and have a look at Fujitsu then...

Twinhead has nothing to do with IBM whatsoever.
