Help! Toshiba, Mac or Dell For laptop!?

[ProShooter]

Haha.........NO. Speak on forums as you do in real life.

I would much rather help a person like this:


Than this:



Also

If it will help your opinion? That's the most idiotic thing I've ever heard. Your opinion is just that....YOURS. It should not be influenced by Gaz's, mine, or anyone elses. We gave you a (semi) unbiased review of the options given, now you must take that, along with system specs, and your personal uses to actually buy the d*mned thing.

Now, answer my effin' question. What are you going to be doing with this computer?

I mean it will help on choosing my opinion on what i should get. And i'm using this laptop for some school work purposes, msn chatting maybe gaming...and surfing the internet.

Well the instant you say gaming, it's windows obviously.

School work most likely uses windows?

Eh, find a nice HP. I'll be back from newegg or somewhere.

^Then you have no style:lol:
And remember, if your toshiba sets your house on fire: You've been warned that it can get hot...

My toshiba doesn't get hot, so I don't know what you're talking about.

My previous laptop was and hp and it nearly burnt my leg when I was using it.

Well, since by looking at macs, I assume money is not quite an issue, I set the top-end at $1200 or so.

Here's some good deals I found at newegg.com There's better ones out there, but I just like using it as a base comparison.

This will be the one I personally get. Very good deal, only drawback is the crapware that comes preinstalled.

The empty pci-e card slot is handy. I'd probably stick a tv tuner in there. Card reader and integrated webcam.

Pricecut comes from the gfx card, you won't be able to game hardcore on this machine, but it will fly through everything else. The fingerpad security is nice for college and such. The windows XP sp2, is preferred over Vista IMO. If you have bluetooth devices, this one comes stock with a bluetooth receiver.

You might not like the only SD card reader, and battery life will suffer with only a 6 cell battery running a 15 inch screen with a 5400 rpm HDD.

*drools*

Look at that processer. 2.0 GHz 800 MHz FSB and a 4MB L2 cache. lol.
I'd stick another 2 GB of memory, and again, your gaming would be sub-average. (still good for a lappy)

decent gaming machine with a simple RAM upgrade from 512 to 2042
Battery life would suck though

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834114345
I'd pick this one too.
I like everything about it, except for maybe the GPU.

Edit: Don't listen to the mac fanboy :lol:. Toshibas get hot about the same rate that wii's do. (meaning, it's user ignorance). Although Lithium-ion cells have a tendency to get hot. Dell had a battery issue on their XPS's a while back. But don't worry, it's all sorted.
