WHAT SHOULD I DO/BUY? -

Hmm. I m thinking of buying a new laptop and i am unsure if i should do this or not. I have a laptop but it s getting on a little now and just fancy an upgrade. I am curruntly earning no money but i m joining the navy on the 4th of jan and will be earning money soon. So im thinking of splashing about abit. - The question is what kind of laptop should i go for? - Should i consider a Mac? - If i should go for a Mac can i still use things like MSN amp; CAM. - Are Macs just as fast or faster then normal computers amp; anything else you can think of that may help. Many thanks x|::::|You re joining the Navy so you can make money? I think you ve got bigger problems than trying to decide what laptop to buy! lol. Sure a Mac would work. There are a ton of chat apps for Mac but I don t think you can video chat using the MSN client. Use AIM for that. The quality is MUCH better than MSN on windows. And yes they are as fast or faster|::::|Macs are really bad value for money as they use a lot of money making them loom good, however saying that they are reliable. However I would suggest a laptop with same or better specs that a Mac, but half the price, e.g: I would recommend an Acer 5735 ￡370. Intel duo core processor. 3GB of RAM. 160GB of hard drive memory. Windows Vista come with it. EDIT: Just go on: www.pcworld.co.uk You can find it in PC World or Comets, both have it priced at ￡370, last time I looked. Hope this helped, Matty.|::::|There are NO CONS. The MacBook does both WinBloze and OSX, no other computer can make that statement. You have the best of the best. Apple Stores are popping up all over and you can make an appointment for a time and date, bring your computer there. They will troubleshoot it and fix it if it s a software problem it s FREE. What other computer company has stores and can make that statement? Get the 2.4 GHz with 4Gigs Ram and you got a speed machine like mine. The WinBloze people may not like a Mac computer but I ll bet they all have iPods.|::::|macs are too much money you can get a good windows laptop for 600 that will do the job that a 1200 mac would do. go online to tigerdirect.com or newegg.com and check out acer or compaq laptops. they are good computers for a reasonable price. macs are just as fast but windows is better.|::::|The specs are what determin the speed and stability of a system, not te brand Get an ASUS G71 quad loaded
