Which laptop? - Page 3

Lacus · 29th Aug 2008, 09:29 AM

some parts are semi-faulty (1 unused button on his keyboard keeps popping out and the power adapter making weird noises

) Well, seriously it's up to you

Eww the M-word....

Jking (partially).

Look at the lenovo Ideapads. They are more for home/media usage as opposed to the Thinkpads which are high end business use.

Although M-word has the flexibility of running 2 OS, but I tried installing MacOSX on my PC running using VMWare, it ran fine, but there's nothing for me to do with MacOS!

I rather have a proper PC laptop.

Pc laptop ftw!

tried installed MAC OSX on my laptop and all I can think of is browsing! LOL
though I like Audium.

back to topic, from what I heard from my friends, Toshiba always have problem with their lcd and Acer with everything

to be on the safe, whatever you are going to get, just take the 3 years warranty

like i said, it's meant for work only. nothing else. haha btw, it has to be the macbook PRO. not the regular macbook crap.

Oh the new Dell Latitudes E series is SEXY!

I hardly game on PC lately. But what things I can do on MacOSX, but can't do it on PC? Or most important of all, is there anything I want on MacOSX?

peaz · 29th Aug 2008, 05:29 PM

actually there's nothing that I want on MacOSX also. In fact, it's not OSX that I really want. It's the hardware. and since it runs windows ... that's what it;s going to be used for.

When I own one la that is.

Getting Off Topic! haha

What's the budget again? anyways. consider the Dell Latitude E series too. Apparently much longer batt life since it's on the latest intel chip and platform. and it has a sleek design too. no longer the boring dell plastic look

It's only the looks you are looking for.

Hardware is basically Intel Core 2, just like any other notebook in the market.

How about IBM notebook? I think the repairing time is shortest.

Well, personally, I work on my notebook, so I would want my notebook to be reliable because unlike desktops, you can't just replace the components yourself.

Repair time may be short but for those who cannot survive without their laptops, even a day to repair is a day too long. Hehe..
