eh I prefer XP. I don't like too much accessibility, and simplicity when it comes to computers. Apple products just....annoy me.

You know I've always got annoyed by those Apple commercials with the guy from the movie "Accepted". I sent a proposal to air a commercial where the guy asks "can you right click?" but never aired.

QUOTE(Steven @ Mar 11 2008, 07:40 PM)  I've had a Toshiba Satellite U205 and a Macbook, and I have to say I like OSX better on a laptop than XP. Ah but we're not comparing Operating Systems. We're comparing the computers themselves... <being bias>But then again Macs are the only ones with OS X and I do like OS X </end bias>. Of course Linux does change that... Yea okay I'll end it here. |

Macbooks are nice. Nothing wrong with them. The price was right for me, too, as I got a double discount. One for a reason I can't remember, maybe a seasonal discount? The second was a couple hundred off for being a student. It's got a reasonably fast processor (2.4 core 2 duo) and 2gb of ram. 64 mb video card, but mac's utilize their video ram differently than pc's. The 64 on my macbook runs my video games about the same as my 128 on the toshiba.

But it sucks if you're a gamer, especially for WoW. WHOS GONNA PLAY SC3?!!!! |

2.16 is more than enough for WoW. WoW's major limiter is the video card. Wow was designed to run on single core processors, so duel core processors are typically fine no matter what.

But when I got it, the 1299 one was 2.16 GHz, FOOLIO. I got the shaft! I'd rather not Wow with you, Bahngy. Did you see all those damn buttons or icon stuff that you click? I don't care if Tony says "oh well you really only use 5'7 of them". When there's friggen 30 of those at the bottom, I'm like NO WAI, YO. Haha :P |

Lol. You get used to all the buttons. It also depends on which class you're playing. Also certain buttons are for out of combat, some are utility, some are buffs, some are for in combat, some are for getting around quicker, some are passive buffs. I use about 15 buttons in a fight, and have about 4 or 5 in preparation for the fight. Oh I also have 3 buttons bound on my mouse O.o
Anyways, when I got my laptop, the 2.16 was the lower end one O.o |

I even have trouble using the 2 attack buttons (a & b) while playing Brawl (I quit I don't care what Tony says).Damn I got the shaft. I should've bought it in September, then. D: Oh well. Damn, now it's 2.4 AUGH. |

I think HP is superior in the market right now . I've got an HP
myself .. amazing .. of course no viruses ... since I've got the Norton 360 ( very commercial , I don't feel its really effective ) but anyways ... i still feel and think that the computer is running great .. but of course from time to time needs a bit of professional steps which i do to keep it running smoothly HP Pavilion dv6500 ... very nice .. 2GB ram , 2.2 GHZ Intel dual core 2 processor .. i recommend IN THE MEAN TIME HP ... but u never know when another brand can make everything change . |

And it's ultimately the operating system, antivirus, and most importantly COMMON SENSE that prevents viruses... Although some added bells and whistles might prevent it as well. The only HP I'd ever get is the HP Blackbird, which isn't even a laptop, so I guess that tells you something based on my preferences. |

better than dell.
after fixing an x amount of computers and laptops, i'd say hp was the most pleasant to work with. OH MAN THEY HAVE THE ASUS 9500 GEFORCE SERIES FOR JUST ONE GRAND! that price is just spanking. go for that laptop, it just destroys every competition on the market right now. plus it's on sale! pm me and i'll send you the link |
