»Thinking about buying a laptop«

I am thinking about buying a laptop and I was wondering if any of you guys could recomend a good computer....can be Macin-trash can be Windows but not Linux....

I was thinking about Dell Latitude D505 or iBook

Nah I think you should get a Packard-bell 213421421 mega super unit with double syncro power and dual monkey brain control.

AHAHAHa....oh, man Ohhhh...That-was-FUNNY! oh....ahahah *wipes the tears away* Ohh...MAN was that funny or what?....

....ohhh

Please stop, I beg you before you kill me with your great jokes....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

''sarcasm...oh how I love thee''

As always one important issue is what you plan to do with it.

It's impossible to suggest a particular one blind like this, but here are some pointers.

Batteries are one thing to consider - will you be using it on the move or just in situ in different locations.

Look for models with generic expansion slots - ie, you can slip out the floppy drive and replace it with a second battery if needed.

Look at what is "built in" and what hangs out the back on a series of wires and has to be carried 'round like a jigsaw.

Check out memory costs - it might seem like enough now, but this has got to last and you don't want to find out a couple of yeas down the road that it costs the same as you paid for the notebook to get more RAM. Manufacturers are notorious for this little trick.

Does it need to be durable? sure some models look nice, but will they survive being jostled around with your luggage.

Personal oppinion...

Unless you're a graphic deigner or something I'd resist the Mac route, sure there is the old PC vs Mac debate, but at the end of the day you have to think about the main difference.

MAC is made by Apple, PC's are made by pretty much everyone else.

The PC by its generic hardware is the better choice in terms of flexibility and the availability of hardware and software. Macs are becoming more generic, but in doing so they are kinda making the PC point for them.

However, notebooks are not the same as desktops and tend to be quite manufacturer specific in terms of upgrades and accessories.

The increasing availability of USB devices helps - you don't need to spend £200 on a specialist floppy drive for your Slick Compaq Powerpose when you can pick up a generic USB floppy for £20.

USB memory sticks a brilliant, but then they'll work with whichever one you end up getting.

Aha....I see, well, I would ne using the computer mostly in school but also playing games and going on the internet (Matrix-explained.com) and so and so....

My Brother in law works for microsoft and they just bought him a brand new laptop im not sure what kind but the screen turns over and is like a touch screen. its pretty sweet. you should get one of those.

Touch screen? No thanks, but thank you for your post. Not getting a lot of feedback

AHAHAHAHA...didn't i tell you to stop? Oh man was that a great response or what....WOW !

Nobody? Anybody have anything interesting to say regarding laptop computers? Nothing?

let's see if mr. mirra will visit this thread and share his great knowledge of computers. he seems to be flaunting it endlessly in front of my face recently.

for instance, i said that one of my friend's dad is a computer engineer, and he said "o wow he's a computer engineer. he like totally saved your life!" so i'm supposing he MUST know A LOT about computers, don't you mr. mirra *cough cough gag choke dies clones and relives*

well? where are you mr. mirra? aren't you going to use your computer genius and shove it in our faces?

have some tea

i like tea.

dude haven't you heard? teen marriages often fail....especially when there's an age difference of...lets see... 72 - 13 equals 59?

HAHAHAHAHAHA

and there haven't been any strange developments when you've been away another smith, except for one. agent zero is continuously shying away from excellent oppurtunities....seems his weakness is being dependant on you. and being extremely random.

randomness is so cool though.
