I'm going to buy a laptop...

[EMINEM08]

The one in particular I am looking for is this one. The far left one. You can customize after you buy. If I do end up getting it, I will get the 250GB hard drive instead of the standard 120GB. And I might increase the memory to 4GB or 8GB. My question is, what laptop and model, with links, should I get? I have a Dell but I prefer a Mac because of user rating compared to Dell's. And also it will be user friendly with my iPods.

You're going to pay twice as much for half the quality on a Mac compared to Dell.

[TheGoldenYoshi]

Don't you find it strange that you're basing your preference on what other people think of the computers when the only opinion that matters is your own?

Those two different platforms typically cater to ... different people.

Nice prediction. And Rage, I only wanted to know what would be better to save money on a quality laptop.

If saving money is one of your priorities, then you sure as hell shouldn't be looking at a stupid MacBook. It doesn't matter what all the Mac enthusiasts love to say about their machines -- Apple is the only store in the world that gets away with charging retards three to four times what the computer is worth on a component-to-component basis.

Looking at a similarly priced (and by similarly I mean lesser-priced) configuration from Dell, which I personally wouldn't be too fond of buying from either, you get these sorts of comparisons:

RAM:

Dell: 2gb standard. Upgrading to 4gb: +$100
Apple: 1gb standard. Upgrading to 4gb: +$300

Both DDR2 667MHz

Hard Drive:

Dell: 160gb standard. Upgrading to 250GB: $50
Apple: 120gb standard. Upgrading to 250GB: $150 (Upgrading from 160: $100)

Both 5400 rpm SATA

And so on.

The base price of the Dell was $999. The Mac: $1,099.

Configuration for a laptop with a 2.4 duo core processor, 4gb of RAM and a 250gb (all equal specifications): Dell, $1,324. Apple: $1,599.00.

Apple's site says nothing about a video card, where the Dell has a 128mb NVidia 8400M GS plus free antivirus and a fingerprint scanner. Both have cameras.

Now let's be honest, here. If this were a desktop PC, the difference would be more retardedly dramatic. Since there's no economical way to build a laptop, though, the difference won't be as huge. From looking at what you want from your laptop (more disk space, more RAM), though, the difference will be there.

All I'm saying is shop around. Don't be an idiot like 99% of college freshmen and go straight to Apple.com to fork over an unjustified amount of cash.

Thanks I never realized that.

And does anybody have an iPod and a Mac laptop? If you do is it any better than it would be on a Dell?

Nah I think I'll stay on the safe side and buy a laptop from a store.

[TheSovereign]

If you're a retard who spends most of his time playing games, get the Dell.

[salted-tator-tot]

I recommend the HP Pavillion series, I have one and it works pretty well. The only downside is Vista is pre-installed and you have to make your own recovery discs (no OS disc is provided). I'm pretty sure the model I have is Dv6500, it is a great buy for a low amount of money and it works great (except the Vista).

[EMINEM08]

I made my decision. I'm getting a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop. But one last question, is Windows XP Professional worth the extra $130?

I have an older PowerBook, and the iPod / Laptop process always goes quick and easy. I haven't tried yet on a PC, but that's what all my friends do, and they say that the PC version of iTunes is kind of buggy.

[benjadaninja]

I'd go with a mac. They are the sleekest, and sexiest computers, you will get many compliments.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did it upset you that I considered a Mac? Besides, fuckface, I;m getting an Inspiron 1520.

Ooooh, dissed.

[Grubby]

Just my opinion, but I'd rather get a PC laptop instead of a Mac.

I would save a lot more money on a PC laptop.

Don't be an asshole, macs are way easier to use than PCs once you get used to them.

No fanboy wars wanted, so don't touch me fags.

I don't see any reason why. Vista works reasonably well by now.

[RommelTJ]

Get the one I got! It is much cheaper and better than the crap you are about to buy:
IFL9025

I highly recommend this company. I will never buy from big names again.

Oh yeah because everyone that wants to buy a computer instead of making one is a retard. And I don't have all the time in the world. I'm 16 with a part time job.

LOL. Can you honestly build a laptop? If you say yes, you are a fucking bullshit liar.

If you could build a laptop, you wouldn't be on Newgrounds.

It is one thing to build a desktop, and a whole 'nother to build a laptop from scratch.
