| Post subject: | Laptop Conundrum |
With the semester starting again in a few weeks, I've been looking for a small lightweight laptop to use around campus (fuck public computers) and for various hotspot locations. I've been leaning towards a Macbook, since it's fairly small and I wouldn't be tempted to load it up with crap. However, I'd probably prefer something cheaper that got the job done just as well. I've also been looking at this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp ... 0743304645 Since most people on these forums know more about computers and laptops than I do, I figured I'd toss this post up to see if anyone could offer me some constructive advice in my purchase. Many thanks in advance. |

Whatever you buy, I'd try to get one without Vista if possible. |

[quote="Dmitry"]Whatever you buy, I'd try to get one without Vista if possible.[/quote Crazy as it sounds but im actually going to agree with dmitry on this. What you picked it is a great choice, but I would downgrade the OS to xp myself. Considering how annoyingly taxing vista is right now on certain setups. |

qfe. My laptop runs on Vista, and, while it's not the WORST set up possible, it can be rather annoying at times. |

Vista isn't as good as i expected, although i have only used cheaper versions of it, i doubt i'll switch anytime soon. |

i read somewhere that microsoft was mad that the computers at the olympics wouldn't be using vista, and they said "we need a stable OS" lol the athlete's will have computers to use in their free time, some sporting vista. |

I have no problems with Vista either and I run it on PC. :P My boss bought a Macbook pro recently and he loves it. He used to own a Toshiba, I guess he didn't like it that much because he just bought that one earlier this year. I haven't looked at his Macbook tho so I couldn't say how good it is. |
