Reliable laptop brands

[mangle]

Dell are dirt cheap in tesco, I may check them out

That is total fricken bull ****.

It isn't... My last computer lasted about 3 years, that was top of the spec when I bought it. My Dad has a PowerBook from about 5 years ago and it's still going fine, running Leopard. Now you tell me, if you bought a Laptop five years ago with 512MB RAM and a crappy graphics card, would it run Vista? I don't think so. It actually made his system smoother and a small bit faster!

I had enough of this. Nick, stop going on. Both have their bloody advantages and disadvantages. Yes Im a mac user and I love using the operating system, but these threads where you go on about mac, mac, mac. Its really annoying some members and its getting to annoy me as well.

HI
Back to laptops
Complete noob, BUT I do know my dad used to have to shove a card in the side of his laptop to make it go wireless.
Now whilst checking out the specs
Dell™ Wireless 1395 802.11b/g Mini-Card - Europe - Celeron Dual Core Processors
That appeared! I don't need a card to shove in do I?

Nope no card needed. I take it your dads one is quite old as most laptops now have it built in.

Whatever Matt, I prove my point and enjoy debates.

Put me on your ignore list if you don't like it babes
