Looking for suggestions on laptops

post #1 of 29
Thread Starter 
I'm in the market for a laptop but looking for some suggestions on what kind and best place to buy. I'm just going to be using it for school and stuff like that so I don't really need anything too special, but I want to get the best deal for my money. Any advice?

I used to say the same thing. It's hard to explain, you have to OWN one, because simply trying it at the store won't do it justice. The OS runs so damn smooth, the settings are easy to mess with, and the hardware itself looks pimp.gif.

Once you pull out your Macbook in Class or in Study Hall you got the females on other side of the room going smile.gifnerd.gif and all the dudes who have that bull crap acer netbook they bought off ebay with the mad.gifeyes.gif "showoff" face.

Trust me on this....Macs can lead to sex.

*disclaimer*
Must have game and sex is not guarantee (maybe some head if you get lucky).

This. I just bought one and the hardware is great. My previous two laptops were a Toshiba and an HP (never again) and I must say Lenovo's are much better.

Macs are a good investment, albeit a pricey one. I just get the feeling they're more for show/bragging rights than anything. They look nice, sleek, and simple. If you don't run any software that requires a ton of processing/GPU power, you should be ok with a Mac.

They're almost idiot-proof, too. One time, I was looking for a certain menu item and a drop-down list with an arrow pointing right beside the item I was looking for appeared. eek.gif Haven't felt that dumb in a while. laugh.gifsmokin.gif

More than anything, IMO, the best part about Apple products is that third-party companies really go out of their way to make specific accessories for Macs; unlike their 324324234 PC counterparts.

The "not getting" viruses part on Macs isn't entirely true, either. Windows OS just has tons more instances.


Not to be anti-Mac (I have an iPhone 4), but PC does almost everything that a Mac can do and then some (barring any of the 3445353 patents Apple files over the years). Has tons more software and support than Mac, too. (But AppleCare is pimp.gif for sure -get that if you have a Mac) I'm loving my new PC gaming rig that gets the same things done -fast. It cost me a little less than the 2011 MBA that I intended to buy (got the PC instead). pimp.gif

Just reminding to buy within your means, OP.

What's with all the Mac love? laugh.gif Y'all acting like you never seen a quality Windows machine before, they're definitely out there. Just because Windows is on a ton of machine doesn't mean they're all bad. OP, if you just need it to take notes, I see no reason you should spend $1200+ on a computer that has middling specs. Lurk on Slickdeals and wait for a good deal and then buy. If you want to impress your friends with your flashy new laptop, by all means get a Mac. Same with Beats by Dre and all that other stuff. If you want something that fills your needs, then get something cheaper with Windows.

Do not listen to mp3911, he is obviously poor and is just trying to justify his discussion to buy a lack luster pc that probably broke six months after he bought it rather than saving up for a mac that wold have lasted him for years pimp.gif

I've been a mac user since 03. I had an iBook and then upgraded to a MacBook in 07. Used that until earlier this month when I decided I needed a new computer.

I bought an HP ProBook 4530s to save a little money. Right out of the box, it was messing up on me. The damn computer would connect to my wifi for 30 minutes, then it would give me a "No Connection" yellow arrow over the wifi even though it was saying the signal strength was strong. I would have to disconnect then reconnect to get it to work again for 30 minutes before the cycle would repeat itself. I thought I could deal with it but when it gave me the no connection thing while I was in the middle of an online exam, I flipped out laugh.gif I called HP and they told me it was probably a problem with my network card or something. I returned it immediately after I got off the phone and dropped an extra $300 on a MacBook Pro. pimp.gif

I've had this MacBook for less than a week and I really don't know what was going through my mind when I went with that HP first laugh.gif I actually like Windows too so I loaded Windows 7 on this and it works flawlessly too. The moral of the story: once you go mac, there's no going back laugh.gif
