Buying a new laptop, ANY SUGGESTIONS/ADVICE???

[Drgoo0285]

buy a good multi-channel soundcard.

If the toshiba is less, I'd probably go with that one; what are the screen sizes?

See that was another thing, the HP is a 14.5 and the Toshiba was something bigger, I cant recall, but I was factoring a lot of things like shipping date, build date, the cost, and primarily te sound card. The toshiba (from what I understand) doesnt have the same sound card as the HP because the HP is designed for audio especially. I went ahead and bought the HP tho, and said fuck it.

Definitely cosign this one Tony.

I know u had problems with your last one. If those problems were from viruses, this will be your answer.

You dont even have to get the Macbook Pro.

I got a used macbook with upgraded memory and hard drive off craigslist for $600.

I never leave home without it, real talk.

see im not a mac person, being that I seldom use it, but isnt shit like FL and and all the PC VSTs not compatible with Mac? I really dont even know what to look for in a laptop really....But I hope the money i just invested is worth it.

just cause you get a macbook doesnt mean you will be free from problems...

ive had to have MAJOR repairs on mine on 4 different occasions (failed ram sticks, hard drive, hell even my screen has fucked up and had to be replaced), thank God I had the 4 year Apple Care plan

it works great when it works, i might have a lemon though cause i haven't heard of anyone else having the problems i have had with my Mac

also if you run Windows operating system and Mac operating system if you run into problems good luck getting answers... the Mac folks will say, looks like the Windows OP system is your problem... and then Windows help people will say- since it's a Mac we can't help you

i have bootcamp installed, and this allows you to have Mac operating system (Mac OSX) and PC Operating system (Windows XP), so when i start my computer i can choose which to boot

the Windows side functions just like a PC would, in a way its sort of like having 2 computers in 1

Wow... not sure what went down with yours but I got mine used and never had a problem with anything and mine was manufactured in 2008. I have bootcamp but I was always scared to install windows on my shit. Are you still using the mac now?

Fuck with JRB. He used Bootcamp for the windows install.

i would give your windows partition more space than the Mac side, but dont leave your Mac side low as shit cause that will make it not run as well as it should

the first time i partitioned it i didnt give the windows side enough (only like 30GB) and i regretted it... after my comp crashed i partitioned it differently, i think i did like like 60 or 72 GB or soemthin dont exactly remember, basically i gave windows 2/3 and mac 1/3 of the space
