Guest Rory Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 have you thought about getting a Mac? abit more pricey but mine has done a fine job so far. a powerbook would be my recommendation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiTek Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Apple makes good laptops. I have one and i use reason on it. If your not into macs then i would suggest dell laptops. Right now there having up $750 off laptops depending on the price. heres a link http://www.dell.com/save750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mixologist Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 you can get hp's with amd 64 mobile chips, they're nice but battery life, is short 3 hours or so, they're bulky and heavy, depends what you're looking for look into the amd 64 mobile or the intel pentium m, leaning more twoards the pentium m if you want a MOBILE lap top, not just a movable pc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dice Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Have to agree with some of the others, go with a mac, 12" powerbook or somethin. Bit more pricey but probably worth it in the end.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homecounties Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 "whats the dopest laptop i can get with the same qualities as a pc" why are people suggesting powerbooks? they're not even fast. get something with an amd64 in it, like the amilo A , it will give you true desktop power.

Steve Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Nice. Considering it's on eBay it could have been a bit cheaper though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompeteWithPete Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 aight...im gonnna keep diggin for a better price. steve, what would you suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Don't get me wrong Pete, the price is OK, but usually it's a bit cheaper on eBay. With rebates, you can get the same one for $1,419 here: - http://www.clearanceclub.com/cgi-bin/quell...altime&sku=2199 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompeteWithPete Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 thats a good site. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejesterkid Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) On this note.. anyone knowa good ish laptop around the 600-700 (££)mark. Dont care about weight as it'll be stuck to my desk, and battery life isnt important either. Would rather it had decent amount of RAM (512) and a big ish hardrive for serato+mp3s. thanks mucho!
