In need of a new laptop.

No! The Windows machine will do the same sort of job at a much lower cost. Only use Mac if you are a video editor, a music producer or maybe a graphic editor.

The new DELL laptops, HP or Sony Vaio look as good (even better) than a Macintosh notebook, I beleive.

This is just my personal opinion.

[Recursion]

It's MacBook, not Macintosh notebook ;)

Anyway, I guess personal preference, I wouldn't buy a Mac desktop unless it was a Mac Pro, I would only buy a notebook from them.

The name of the computer is the Macintosh and the type is a notebook.

THats like you saying Dell Notebook - even though its called a Dell Inspiron 15 (or whatever they are called).

Get a Dell Inspiron 1501.
I've had mine 3 years and its till working smoothly.

[Sunny.]

I have a dell inspiron 1501, in fact im using it now.

Only problem is, the keyboard has keys missing, the screen does not work and there are some problems such as the touch mouse.

I know use a external monitor, keyboard and mouse and use it as a desktop (Y).

Dell isnt bad though, there support is great, and tbh there laptops arnt bad either. Just take care of it and your fine. Either that or get a HP there amazing

Dell sucks, dont use them, when they break they dont stop breaking. Their support is indians looking at phone charts and even when you have premium access (Comes with xps) it take half an hour from th 'Usual' 15mins to get some help

[Recursion]

Whenever I've had to ring Dell they have been people in the UK who have sent someone out to deliver a new laptop keyboard or totally fix a computer either the same or next day.

I second that ^^

You don't need to listen to this guy, he hates Mac's for some godforsaken reason.

You COULD save up for a MacBook, or you could get a Samsung NC12? It's essentially a normal laptop but smaller, but not quite as small as a netbook because, to my understanding, it has a 12" display?

Or if that's not for you, anything built by HP (and not running Vista) is a machine worth having. HP's middle class and above machines use decent sound systems and nVidia graphics chips which are great for laptop gaming.

[Urnuph]

i hate xp lol i cant use it, i have to use vista.
its gonna be a while before i have enough, so there could be new ones by then.
no more replies needed, thanks guise.
