Calling all computer nerds..or ICT workers will do

Hello folks,

 

I am looking to invest in a decent laptop as a present to myself for xmas. I am ready for purchasing this one:

 

http://store.apple.com/uk/configure/MC0 ... Tc0Njg5ODI

What do you think for the money?

 

 

Want it last a bit longer than my previous laptops - this HP one I bought is a pile of shite - part after part keeps breaking on it. The only thing still working is the keyboard so I hope this message reaches you safely.

 

I am getting better at uses Macs but have to be honest, the swap over from Windows does scare me a bit! As long as the porn keeps coming we are all good :lol:

 

Thanks for any advice. :thumbs:

I got carried away :blush:

 

I'm sure it's great in standard form :thumbs:

 

You will however get much more for your money with a windows based one, just go for a Sony or similar make not an HP or Compaq etc and you will be ok :#1:

 

There has to be a reason Macs are more pricey?? Are they not a bit more robust? I don't mind paying more if it lasts.

Not really to be honest, you pay for the name like with most things.... not saying they are no good, far from it, but you get much more for your £ with something else that's all.

I ceertainly wouldn't spend over £1000 mate as it will still be next year's door stop when the next model comes out :surrender:

 

Really? I had higher expectations for Apple.

 

I guess I could buy a shitter and put money £1000 of it towards an engagement ring fund or alternatively things for the zed. ........... mmmmmmmm, just things for the zed! :lol:

Bsc Hons Computer Science & Pure Mathematics, I build PC's & program them, SQL, Oracle & Java are my bag :thumbs:

 

What you are telling me is you could build me a PC that would wipe the floor with that apple one at quarter of the price. Result.

i like apples but in basic for thats still nearly 2k of laptop.

 

i'd spend half that and get an alien warz laptop, and to be honest even then do you need that much computing power? are you a big pc gamer?

 

if your just doing desktop stuff; sending emails and watching movies then thats alot more laptop than you need.

 

personally i'd spend about 400-600 on a pc world job something from sony or packard bell and save the rest for an engagement ring or something for the car.

I hate anything apple :lol: But onboard graphics was a no no for games when I was building pc's aaages back. Since then I believe the downfall of pc games means there's no real point anymore in anything more than bog standard spec, aside from video editing and even then it's a stretch imo.

Your probably right Rich.

 

I use if for movies, images, emails, forum, hooking up my iphone, burning discs (video and audio) and thats about it. Been using garageband on schools mac to record stuff which I would like to get more into but I guess its a tall price to pay.

But different coloured stockings ;)

 

Wow so many promises today :blush:

 

Anyway back on subject...

 

Cragus... if all you want to do is sit on this forum and look at porn then get yourself a cheapo laptop, once you clingfilm them they all work pretty much the same anyway :thumbs:

 

Got ya big chap! **** Apple up the ass and buy a cheapo.....although I still think the apple one is pretty! :lol:

I swapped to a mac about 2 months back and have found it much better than my PC.Web browsing is much quicker,no viruses to speak of plus I'm told will not slow down as a PC does overtime.Also looks a lot better.

 

If your not into gaming then I would recommend,but 2k for a laptop why not get the desktop much cheaper.
