Daggers Posted 1 February 2009 Share Posted 1 February 2009 The laptop is gone. It was a trooper of laptops, it cost a mint but four years ago and now it is wheezing like an asthmatic. I am now in need of something new, something strong and sexy. A proper beast of a desktop - do I go for an iMac? Do I? Do I really dare? Ooooh, I feel so naughty.

It woud sync with your phone so well. You could get Leopard and a Time Capsule. It would even look great. I think you know what you're going to do. Convert.

Daggers Posted 1 February 2009 Author Share Posted 1 February 2009 I'm struggling to justify the extra cost of something that isn't twice as good as a PC. I can see me going for a dual-boot, quad-core behemoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Link The one I have/had cost me sixteen hundred but I'm not going to splash that out again, I don't reckon machines have improved enough to justify it and I don't use them to play games on anymore. Graphics and music is about the limit...reckoning I can pick up something reasonably cheaply and use the difference to get myself a project Cooper 1.3i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend_in_blue Posted 2 February 2009 Share Posted 2 February 2009 Get a Dell. Got an Inspiron 1720 this time last year and got a geforce 8600GT inside it. Go for the maximum amount of RAM and it runs Bioshock and Mass Effect no problem. It cost £600. The XPS is meant to be a gaming laptop but why bother when this one does those no problem?

Daggers Posted 3 February 2009 Author Share Posted 3 February 2009 I can't seem to get past the 17" Macbook Pro. It just seems too sexy. What a ridiculous amount of money. But *gosh* it's a bit sexy. Damn you Steve Jobs! Damn you to hell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
