Laptop Computers.

['TheBugKahuna']

I need some advice from people that know alot about computers. Which computer do you think is the better buy?
http://www.apple.com/ibook/

http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=i6000S2&s=dhs

I want to use it for college, the wireless internet, writing, organizing music, watching DvDs, and playing some games (not many, I am not a huge gamer).

Go figure...the only link that works for me is the Apple site. :lol:

I'd go with the iBook. That's just me. I'm a bit biased. Where are you getting your software from? If you have the PC version then buying a Mac may not be such a great idea. If you are buying all your software new, I think you'll like the way the iBook works. You could spend a little more and get the PowerBook. That's what I have and I couldn't be happier.

Most of the world is PC based so that may play into your decision as well. I'm sure cost is a concern too. The PC will probably be more economical.

Good luck making a choice. :P

Thanks Artee.

And thank you Valk for all of your helpfull posts.

[Valk]

Djeez, I make one joke and suddenly all of my posts are worthless. Thanks man! :)

['TheBugKahuna']

Artee I edited the links, so that they actually work now. :D

[Spike]

What Atree said with the software thing. PC stuff is easier to come by (from a retail point of view, of course - the local corner shop sells PC stuff). :lol:

Ask your mates what they've got.

[Tiger_Penis]

What ar eyou going to Major in? A lot of english departments and riting intensive places want you to have an Apple.

More math things want you to have stuff like PCs.

Let your major be your guide.

[Clockers]

Djeez, I make one joke and suddenly all of my posts are worthless. Thanks man! :)


:lol:
Sorry for laughing but the way you said that' made me crack up.. :lol: :lol:

['TheBugKahuna']

Can colleges really force you to have a certain kind of laptop?

I am not sure what I want to major in yet, but I do know that I do not like math, at all. I am more into reading, writing, and music.

[MagnumXL]

Djeez, I make one joke and suddenly all of my posts are worthless. Thanks man! :)


I still love you Valk!

[pastaboy]

don't get the apple one, mac's are crap anyone that knows about hardware will tell you, i'd wait a little because the new centreno is coming out and it will force all laptops at the moment down, but for sure buy a pc laptop because you can easily get all your programs for free and any thing for free for that matter i can tell where as well

anyone that recommends macintosh are retarded they don't know a thing about hardware or computers.

[Bobo]

you can easily get all your programs for free and any thing for free for that matter i can tell where as well
Please, let us know. :cool

[Spike]

He probably means Linux and other open source freeware, and Firefox. :wink:

[Valk]

Yeah Sure.

Can you make text documents on a Mac that a PC can read?

['TheBugKahuna']

Whats so good about this new "centrino" buddy? And when does it come out? :D

[pastaboy]

i don't know too much about laptops and centrino but i think the new one has better wireless features and i good site for illegal program downloads is http://www.phazeddl.com/ only go there if your accountable for your own actions, don't blame me if some goes wrong

[Bobo]

I don't know what's new in the next Centrino generation, but at least the first one is quite good: fast'n powerful with low power consumption and don't heat up much compared to other laptop CPU:s.

[wern]

PCs are better. Macs are gross. Our university had macs and it was hell using them. Theres more software for PCs. I think they take up more than 2/3 of the market. Just go with the flow.

[hugh g rection]

Fairly sure it's actually like 72/28 in favor of PC's. If you don't know much about computers, get a PC. If you do run into a problem, you can find a crapton of people who know how to work on a PC. If you get something fucked with an Apple product, well, I hope you have a close personal friend who works on them because you will get reamed.

[ArTee63]

don't get the apple one, mac's are crap anyone that knows about hardware will tell you...
...anyone that recommends macintosh are retarded they don't know a thing about hardware or computers.


Really? I guess I'm just a stupid fucktard.

Let's compare...

My Mac

NO virus problems

Software? I can and do use ALL of the Microsoft Office products, Adobe CS Suite, Filemaker. I'll grant you there are more software titles for the PC. Most of them really not worth much. If you use your machine for playing games, yes the PC will win the software title everytime. That's a pretty expensive toy though. I use my Mac to be productive.

I do see the virtues of owning a PC. I actually have 2 on my home network. Others in my home like them. That's fine. I prefer my Apple. It's easier to maintain and keep running smoothly than my Win Moblies.

Really, Pastaboy, do some real research before making a blanket statement about the differences between the two. I know plenty of PC IT guys who will vouch for the stabiilty and ease of use of a Mac over a PC. To say that someone who recommends a Mac is some how less than intelligent is just plain ignorant.

mate whats your problem you know that pc's are 100 times better

macs are only around because microsoft has too have compentition. macs are all style and no substance. you can upgrade your pc, there are plenty of more arguments that i have but i can't be f$#%^d typing them in.

the only credible argument that mac lovers have :is theres no viruses on macs, that is it.

[ArTee63]

I was buying some software the other day and the requirements said Windows 98 or better.......



.....so I bought a Mac. :P

I'm so over this discussion.

Out.

[Godma]

Pastaboy, you are a fool.

Mac's wipe the floor with PC's when it comes to heavy image and video editing. They're the superior choice. They aren't universally crap or out-performed by PC's - Which is why they're the number one choice in the design industry.

[Valk]

They're pretty popular in the Music Industry too.

[Bobo]

The ultimate geek topic of all times: PC vs. Mac! :lol:

(no offence meant, guys) :wink:

['TheBugKahuna']

Dam. I am having a hard time deciding.

[Clockers]

PC :mrgreen

[BIGOKE]

Ibm

['TheBugKahuna']

Bobo, what kind of laptop do you own?

[Bobo]

At the moment, none. I had a PC laptop with Pentium M (Centrino) processor, bought it about one year back, but I gave it to my ex-wife. I have one from work I use daily, but it's something older... but good enough for my reports and stuff, a PC it is.

Well, I think that just about sums up everything I wanted to know. I'd like to get a laptop for myself and a Mac is the call now. Thanks for that ArTee.

I'm sick and tired of those fucking internet cafes. :evil:

Still posting from those?

[Valk]

"Look! The weirdo who visits Penis Enlargement sites is back!" they say, when you walk in to your favourite internet café.

[Bobo]

:lol: Yes, the "wanker" is back! :lol:

[zwmusic]

Still posting from those?

I'm affraid yes. :evil:

At least now there's a gorgeous blonde sitting next to me. :P

[Valk]

Say Hi! :D for me.

[zwmusic]

She sometimes looks at me... she may be wondering what's on with this dark red/black layout... She is gooooooorgeous. I'm getting a boner just by looking at her.

[Valk]

I knew it!...she wants me! :D

If I only could come up with some stupid joke, that would make you laugh like a horse. That would clear her interest in a second. :lol:

[Bobo]

Tell her You've been a member for a long time already, and the problem is solved... otherwise she will think You have a tiny penis and You're desperately looking for help! :lol:
