I use emac and i love it. (I'd like to use faster ones but i'm poor)
Now my gf's 4yr old NEC laptop(on xp) just broke, she said she plugged in
her external speaker to the wrong hole and the computer just went blank and never work again.
Anyways she wants a new PC laptop, I could try to convince her getting a
mac but she's poor too, paying out of state tuition etc. etc.
Mac mini is cheap but she must get a reliable laptop. around $750
Plus she likes using PC, (in fact, I sort of like her using PC because she then periodically needs my help to fix something on her computer, I do feel more useful in this world)
I know they always have good deals on dell from
fatwallet.com or sleekdeals.net, but seriously dell is the opposite of apple and
I don't like dell.
Any suggestions?
Should i try to find a cheap&reliable pc laptop(hardware-wise) like
thinkpad ? buy.com has thinkpad z60t for like $825, no tax.
I've never bought a laptop before so I don't know which ones are reliable.
Plus all my friends have dell and they break all the time, so i only know that dells are not reliable, but that's it.
I was also thinking:
First spend long hours explaining why mac is better and then after she's convinced Buy a macbook with educational discount and ipod rebate, then
sell the ipod so then my macbook alone will be like $1000(apple charge tax here in ks) or something, but
that's lots of work. I could have use that time for working on my part-time job.
I know we're all mac fan here and I shouldn't be asking for PC laptop suggestions here, but this is the only forum i read daily so I feel like home asking you guys.
