| 481346 | 2006-08-30 04:44:00 | Hey guys.. this is my first time posting but I need some advice.. My laptop recently broke (I had a Toshiba Satellite... it was less than a year old!) and the guy I took the computer to said something about how the motherboard is broken so I might as well buy a new one... well I have no idea which laptop to get! Esp, if I should get a Mac or a PC. Soo... was wondering if anyone could help :). I mainly use my computer just for internet and browsing and I also do some graphic work on photoshop. I never play games and occasionally I'll use Word or Powerpoint. What would be an ideal laptop for me? -don't need alot of space -must be fast.. lots of memory or whatever cause I always seem to run out of it on my laptop -be able to burn dvd's. -light weight and easy to carry around daily -Price range should be preferably under $1500 or less if possible. Doesn't have to be completely great... I'll probably only use it for a year or so before I buy a new one so no sense buying a super expensive one. Just post a response with your opinion or what you would get please! Or email me at [edit] or message me on myspace by searching that email... Thank you! If you like PC's better can you recommend exactly what brand & price too? Thanks. |

| 481348 | 2006-08-30 04:56:00 | Doubt you'll get a Mac for under $1500, and if you do it'll be secondhand or very sluggish. If the laptop is less than a year old the repairs should be covered by the warrenty, take it back to where you bought it from. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||
| 481349 | 2006-08-30 05:06:00 | PC As you already seem to have Word Powerpoint and photoshop, you are probably best to stick with a PC, as you would have to purchase macintosh versions od the aforementioned software to run on a Mac laptop Where are you in NZ |

What would be an ideal laptop for me? -Price range should be preferably under $1500 or less if possible. From your first statement there: A Mac. Because of your second statement - nope, have to be a PC. |

| 481351 | 2006-08-30 05:55:00 | As others have said, a Mac would be best for you, but Apple's laptops start at around $2000 which is outside of your budget. See: www.nz.totallymac.com www.nz.totallymac.com However, if you are planning on buying a new laptop in a year, why not bump your budget up to $2500 now and buy a decent laptop that will last two or three years rather than multiple budget laptops? Either way, I would recommend waiting a month or so until you can get a Core 2 Duo based laptop. :) |

| 481354 | 2006-08-30 06:59:00 | Um, surely the Toshiba came with a warranty (or was it secondhand?). :confused: | gibler (49) | ||
