Laptops

[girlelectric]

I'm not owning an laptop right now but I'm definitely getting one soon. I want an 14" iBook (with 768 MB RAM) because it's beautiful and I love Os X (My dad has an iMac G5 ... lucky bastard).

(Actually I look at the website all the time. Meh ...)

i really want a laptop so which one is the best?

^ Depends what you want/need to use it for. I'm a big fan of Apple's new MacBook/MacBook Pro.

Here's two links to them

DDR! Go DDR (or better). This can't be said too many times. Seriously, you could have 1 gig of SDRAM and it would still be rubbish.

As I've already said - Macs are a total rip-off. They cost more for less performance.

No kidding. My school district recently got a levy passed allotting taxpayer money to lease out iBooks to every student 5th grade and older. Not only do they suck, but they locked up any feature that would make it interesting and they make every student get one, even if they already have a laptop of their own-and it's $70 a year.

In really not a fan of macs, or their looks either. I feel no sense of power when I see a Mac and they are overpriced IMO.
After talking to a bunch of different people before buying my laptop this summer, the general consensus was that a Toshiba, HP, or Dell were good decisions, while a Mac would be a better decision for graphic work.

I ended up getting an HP Pavilion with 1.6ghz Centrino Duo (almost silent) with 1.5gb ram, 120gb hard drive and 15.4" widescreen...
it also contains an 8x optical DVD/CD-RW drive and a card reader for SD MS.Pro/MMC/SM/XM cards which I find to be extremely convenient. Also comes with a media remote to control media functions (has a slot ont he side for you to put in when not in use) which is handy if youre watching movies, or using the laptop for a presentation...
Overall, I've been happy with my purchase

For all your power needs, IBM's butt-ugly laptops are absolute beasts I've discovered. I tried a Lenovo instore and I'm sure people mistook the Core Duo powering up for a motorbike engine.

My new laptop, VAIO FS515E only £500, and no Apple in sight:

I currently own a Sony Vaio Notebook and let me tell you it's been the best investment I have ever made. I bought it last year and it runs fast, I've never had a problem with it and the DPI (color) is just amazing. It's a bit of an investment as I payed $2700 for it, but definatley worth it.

I have a Dell XPS M140. It's really lovely, runs really fast, very durable...Im loving it so far.

Wish I would've gotten something cooler, I kind of want to spray paint it a matte black...Maybe w/ electric blue trim? Ooo, Im going to the place where they sell paint...Home Depot I believe it's called?

 

[Legyviel]

I'm perfectly happy with my Toshiba...

 

[Meg]

Where did you find a vaio in the UK for £500? Must have been second hand or subsidized....

MACs are good computers. They generally are superior to PC's in terms of their makeup and how they run. But I just do not like their interface which i find really difficult to use. For some reason, both my laptops have been compaq's and i love my new one. It runs really well and I can pop it easily into my Muse to carry round if i need to.

I have been eyeing a Sony Picturebook with wireless capabilities. I need the smallest laptop possible.

 

[Meg]

ps ybf I love your house. Mind if I come and live with you? It looks so warm and cozy.

 

[FashionGrrrrl]

I would recommend that anyone looking to buy a laptop check out Consumer Reports and other similar publications for unbiased ratings and reviews, I've found them to be so helpful with many of my important purchases.

 

[Party.in.Paris]

I'm hesitating between a pc or mac

Sony VAIO if it's a pc...but if it's a mac I'm not sure, wich one is the cutest in your opinion ??? (the look is more important since I'm not doing complicated stuff with my computer )

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never realized how hard it is to buy a friggin' laptop.

I'm starting for college, so I want something light. Not too big and not too small. I heard that Dell, Lenovo, and Toshiba were the best brands. Although Sony has the nicest models.

Any recs for a laptop that's really sleek and light and is under $1000?

And is it true Dell's crash alot?
