Very True. However only important if those are the kind of programs you would be using. I have a pc for pc programs, and never bought a mac thinking I would run windows apps on it, and never ran any either. To most long time Mac users, the ability to run windows programs was never an...

Just get a nice used G5 tower, with a good graphics card. http://www.dvwarehouse.com/Apple-Power-Mac-G5-c-253_53_3987.html Never bought from them, but it should give you an idea CN

:D:D:D Find a same size/weight/spec laptop for less............please....:D:D:D

Sure, if you dont want an ultraportable. In its size class, the new EEE will sell in the hundreds of thousands, and perform great for its intended use. And the new one will run on a new Intel Atom processor too.

http://blog.laptopmag.com/eee-pc-to-get-intels-diamondville-hard-drives-and-fashion-forward-style Very interesting indeed. 499$

If you like OSX, get the airbook, For a winbox, get the Sony. Personally I would wait for a while, as who knows what the MBA's next revision will bring.

Thanks, you made me almost choke on my coffe :D:D

haha, you dont know anything about what I actually own. And unlike you, I dont feel so insignificant that I constantly have to try and assert myself over other ppl based on what kind of computer(s) theyre using. But you are funny, I give you that.:D

Amen. I dont expect him to realize his own impotence in this matter. But this really makes these forums way boring to me, arrogance and intolerance have no appeal to me at all. This is not like the intel and amd fights, this is directly one group of users just not accepting the other...

So you got what you consider a better purchase, good for you. I dont even know why you compare, but whatever.

And still have no OS X. But im beginning to see what this is all about. You dont really care at all, you just hate apple. :rolleyes:

sad, so sad.

The competition is not OS X. :rolleyes:

Why cant you just accept different ppl have different priorities? Believe it or not, there are ppl out there that DONT WANT a windoze laptop, DONT NEED a built in Dvd player, WANT light weight and thin, so it will fit a briefcase. And LOVE the fact that the screen is big enough for...

No need to be sorry since you said nothing worth anything :D

Stocks fell sharply on Tuesday after Citigroup announced a $9.8 billion quarterly loss and an economic report showed retail sales fell in December. you failed to read the stock market.

Dont be stupid. If you had any clue about commuter prices to NYC you would have never opened your mouth. Just another arrogant remark that was based on nothing. My family lives and works out out of NYC and Washington DC, perhaps you should research a bit about how 200.000$ + salary...

Again, TONS of Business ppl sit in dark trains and buses all morning and evening long, and would like to comfortably draft up proposals and such, this will fit the bill with style. I dont think apple was aiming for the middle managements traveling salesman here, but rather High end commuters...

It has an optional external superdrive. It has an optional lan dongle. Both would easily fit in laptop bag, should you really need to carry them, otherwise that kinda covers anything you'll need at home. I have no doubt some kind of Firewire solution will emerge shortly as well, maybe...

Its amazing, and exactly what early morning/late nite commuters need. With more and more commuter services offering WiFi, this thing hits the spot with the proffesional set. No disrespect ppl, but the Pro's that REALLY need this thing wont be posting on these forums. My wife has been...

Id say a ThinkPad T Series T61 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834146398 should be excellent for mom for years to come. XP Pro too :) Just put another 1g of memory in and she's all set.

Because must serious 3D design studio's do not use laptops for programs like maya. The 8 core mac pro has a NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 1.5GB (Stereo 3D, two dual-link DVI) option.

The FX 570M is geared towards OpenGL 3D design, and the 8600M GT is a "standard" Multimedia/gaming card. For a person that does Graphic Design Work, using Adobe and Macromedia products etc It makes no difference whatsoever. What you need to focus more on is Ram, Processor speed and the...

Ultra portable MBP Rumors

The macbook pro HD replacement does not look difficult, just tedious. I'm sure anyone who's methodical and not in a hurry would have no problems with this. In other words, should be easy if youre even slightly [H]ard. :)

Looking at the picture in the OP reminds me why I fix my computers and cars myself.

unfortunately the 8400 is rather weak, but there are plenty of nice offerings with the 8600GT right now, tho none at 12". Personally I would not invest in a gaming laptop with anything lower than a 8600GT or ATI 2600

"14.0" WXGA TFT Active Matrix (1280 x 768 max. resolution) w/ Gateway® Executive Stylus (by WACOM™)" Not exactly off-brand.

Gateway. http://www.gateway.com/systems/series/529597319.php comes with a ATI Mobility™ Radeon® X2300 HD 256MB PCI Express Graphics 128MB GDDR3 and a 14" screen, a bit big maybe but should be great for CAD.

haha, WoW doesnt need to die for that thing to be uncool, lol. Pretty much the most uncool thing ive seen in a long while, but hey, if youre a hardcore WoW player why not, its not like you would have the time to spend your money on anything else anyhow.

hmh, i really never experienced any of these issues you have more than maybe once or twice a day, and hardly ever since the last patch. Too bad, the game is fun. ~CN

Thanks for the review, I have played this game since Beta and I'm glad the DX10 is enjoyable, Of course now I have to get new Hardware :D ~CN

interesting read here

Hi all, im contemplating a Fujitsu LifeBookN6460 http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Fujitsu-LifeBook-N6460-Notebook/2670085/product.html I really only would use it as a secondary gaming (Hellgate London, Conan, Warhammer etc) and surfing machine that i can kick around the house, for those...

It will do CountersStrike easily enough, but I think the Native 1280 x 800 res is a little low. For that kind of money you should be able to get a 1440 x 900 machine imo. Go Build a Dell Vostro for comparison at Dell.com, and see what you get. ~CN

At this stage, it really is about what OS you would like to use, both are great machines. I have a macbook Pro, and a few Ibooks, as OSX is what I use for work. My next Laptop will be a PC tho, as I want to game all over my house, garden poolside etc. I dont game on my macs at all anymore...

How much better is the 8700gt than a 8600gt that the Dell Vostro's offer? Edit: I looked them up on Nvidia'a site. Does anyone know how much this difference would mean for actual gameplay? 8700GT Stream Processors 32 Core Clock (MHz) 625 Shader Clock (MHz) 1250 Memory Clock (MHz)...
