New laptops

Everyone on this thread is wrong. Go with a Mac, always go with a Mac. Have you not seen the commercials? My Macbook runs faster than any PC I have every used and it looks cooler too (plus the chics dig Mac geeks...). But in all seriousness, there are MANY reasons to go with a Mac.

 

What kind of Dell. I'll take it if you don't want it. I've had mine for almost three years and no problems. I'll take another to use for parts or for my sister who is going back to college.

 

Yeah, and one big reason not to: We got two good laptops for the price of one Macbook.

 

Mine did that at first too, but since the first week Firefox has worked great without any problems.

 

Yep.

Same reason I'm getting a PC laptop when my old desktop implodes.

 

to hell with mac. owned macs from 1998 until about a year ago.

going PC was the best thing that's ever happened in my lifetime ... save that one special hottie when i was 17.

 

Had a Toshiba Satellite 1850, I think it was? Great latptop. Bought in 2001 and it survived through 2005. Worked like a charm and the only thing I replaced was the screen and that was because a bullet went through it while I was on an embed. Got back to my quarters and plugged a monitor into the laptop and all was well.

When I finally replaced it I went with a Sony Viao. Been happy with it, but since I don't take it on the road I cannot attest to how portable it is. My on-the-road PC now is a Dell Latitude 600. Ugly and not too bulky but it gets the job done. I've amped the memory and overclocked the CPU (much to my tech department's chagrin) and covered it with decals of places I've been.

 

Toshiba's putting out some excellent shit for the $, these days, even given the (run a war? keep rich folks' taxes rock-bottom? No prob) current limp greenback.

 

My computer is a Satellite, but I don't know what number. I am happy to hear good things from former users...We don't take our laptops on the road unless we're traveling for awhile, so it's basically home computers for us.

 

Personally, I'm a Mac guy, but I've heard as far as PCs go, you can't go wrong with a Toshiba.

 

Fuck Mac with the Apple iCock. Used to be a good company, but now the shit's overpriced and I think planned obsolescence is at the heart of company policy these days. My iBook bit the dust and when I get enough saved to buy another laptop, I won't be getting a Mac.
