Computer Recommendation? 2009-08-30 23:12:35 Reply

Ok so I know I've been asking a lot of questions lately, but I need one more piece of advice. I'm going to buy a laptop (the one I have now is not mine), but I will only be using it for messing around with Flash and doing drawings and things along those lines. Anyway, if anyone can recommend something... Nothing fancy, it just needs to be able to run flash and a few other things with no problem. Also, I'm on a tight budget, so price does matter. Thanks to all.

get a pc because you can get way better options (for the price) plus better system cooling. i just got this pc for only $300 off ebay. it's way better than my $1700 laptop.

This should have everything you need.

Though if you're working on a laptop, I recommend using an old monitor to dual screen.

Whatever you get, make sure you have a decent mouse.

A Macbook pro 13" is quite expencieve, but worth the money, and its much faster than most windows laptops. You cant compare the performance with Windows. Becouse its good performance, you wont have to buy a new one for 2-5 years. Windows has viruses, hackers, errors, stupid updates, security errors, ect.

Get smart, buy a Mac.

Vexagon is dead. This is VanVeenGames!

Thank you, mongoid. Looks good. Inexpensive, but gets the job done.
