What Laptop/Computer do you have ?

[D1CKY]

I am in the process of trying to hunt down a good Netbook/Mini laptop at the moment for portability over my normal Laptop.

While doing this i was wandering what Computer/Laptops people on here have and how it had been ?

Any issues etc etc ?

As it may help me with my choice and the ones to stay away from

Thanks

Medion from Aldi

Had it two years and it's never missed a beat. And it's left switched on more or less 24/7.

MacBook Pro.

 

[ViolentJ]

Always build my own.

 

[Mark One]

Asus are great, can't fault them

 

[Mike_182]

Dell Studio 1737, Sony Vaio T1XP and Samsung NC10.

As a netbook, the Samsung rules, but the Sony is still more usable. Love my Studio though, massively powerful, massive, but very good.

Same, best way to go about it.

Erm. Ok.

Obviously EVERYBODY would be better off building their own. Never mind that a dell with a huge warranty is cheaper than one you built yourself, if you're just using it for browsing the net and typing crap up.

Mike is right though, if you only need it for Championship manager and web browsing, then why the hell not.

Ive always built my own, but only because i like playing games now and again.

Can vouch for Studio i have one too

Just on look out for portable one the now

 

[DaveLiquid182]

Sony VAIO No probs at all.

 

[Feirny]

MacBook Pro.

Ditto, it's been awesome.

I'm certainly a convert, it handles my photos/editing, videos, Internet, all my design/uni work no problem.

Would get another one without thinking.

 

[daviebroon]

I build my own because I get exactly what I want and not what a manufacturer has decided I might want. I also enjoy the process. Just transferred all my internals to an Antec Skeleton this week which means I can see everything which also gives me satisfaction.

Thread Bump I know.


After spilling a cup of tea on my main laptop
I've been on the lookout for a new one for a while and quite fancy a Macbook Pro.

But before I go and buy one I thought I'd best ask and see if anyone knows of any other decent laptops for around £800-£1400 mark.

[Darren85]

Too many lol..

HP Tx2050 Laptop - Used for drawing and photoshop (digitiser touchscreen)
Acer Aspire One Netbook - Upgraded with iPod HDD for when I want to surf the webs
Atom Dual Core Mini ITX CarPc - No longer in the car but used for doing the odd bits and bobs with 7" VGA Touchscreen
Advent QC8003 - Main PC, Quad Core blisteringly fast massive memory and HDD.. Gaming and Video Editing..

I use to build all my own stuff but was desperate for a PC at the time so I just brought the Advent, for a PC World own make its pretty well put together and worth every penny!
