Well my laptop recently broke. I dont know what happened. I just updated and when I restarted, it seemed like all services were off and here was nohing I could do. Sysm restore wouldnt work, sound wouldnt work, themes wouldnt work, its now using windows classic. But anyways was prett fed up with my oxymoron of a laptop. 17 inches. I had always gone into sams club and just choosen the best laptop of the 4 sitting there but i am NOT doing that again. Im going to be buying online. O and I should be able to get an exchange for my non working laptop. They will probabl give me 750 dollars store credit. So... You can tell me how to fix my laptop if you want but I would rather take it in, not working, so I will have something to use to get the store credit. (im a jew...)
So first of all, I want your opinion on whether I should get a laptop or a desktop, I think I am going to get them because they are uch more comfortable for me and because I can get such higher specs. O and even though I have 750 dollars My budget max is about 900. I use computer everyday so i might as well spend a little money. Second I need help choosing one. I think I only need help choosing a desktop. I can only choose from walmart and samsclub because tha is where the store credit works. Walmart desktops... http://www.walmart.com/browse/Computers/De...elected_items=+ Sams club desktops... http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate....=1&sortby=2 If it asks fo you to choose a club put in the zip code 76262 and choose the grapevine one. I also fancy the ones without monitors so I can choose my own... i reall liked on that had a 2.8ghz qaud core processor and 6gb ram but it was amd... isnt amd worse? Tanks :) |

Well that completely makes sense...but i didnt know some ram was faster then others. And actually those desktops did have 5200 rpm hard drives. Heres another question that you will hate...what about prebuilt computers made by apple? Do they skip out on the same stuff? I really dont plan on upgrading but is the ram and whatnot they come with good quality? Because I knew that eventually I would move to mac so I thought I would dish out the cash and get it now. Im gonna get the 24-inch : 2.66GHz. I know it is overpriced, but of all their computers I think it is the best deal. Im just tired of windows. Even when I get my netbook im gonna put linux on it.
What do you think is the best time to get an imac? Their business plan is to keep coming out with new stuff so you keep buying so I want to buy as soon as a new one comes out. Does the latest os(snow leopord) now ship on all their computers? *waits for mipadi* |

Does the latest os(snow leopord) now ship on all their computers? *waits for mipadi* The iMac will be due for an upgrade this fall, I think; no guarantees a new model will be released, but it may happen. Snow Leopard hasn't shipped at all yet. It's "scheduled" for September, and from what I've heard from very reliable sources  it will almost definitely be released by September. But if you buy a Mac now, I think you can upgrade to Snow Leopard for $20 or something like that.Anyway, a pre-built Mac from Apple is fine; I'd just recommend upgrading the RAM yourself, instead of springing for the Apple upgrade. |
