if you dont want to buy another one for another 5 - 10 years depending on how you look after it
buy a mac - mine has never skipped a beat

battery life is excellent
no antivirus bullsh*t
no need for maintanence
push the power button and your online in 10 seconds
machined aluminium construction, not cheap sh*t plastic
wont start to overheat 12-18 months down the line
apple are very easy to deal with and super helpful
if you know a student, you can get a 20% discount via their uni portal
operating system is alot easier to navigate than windows

dont listen to the haters, i used to hate them with a passion untill i bought myself one  :cool:




+1 Mac's p*ss on Microsoft !! Nothing but problems with Microsoft !! After a couple of months they go slow and sluggish esp when you have antivirus on there. If you have a grand to spend buy the MBP 13"with i5 chip   and you will never go back to Microsoft . And yes i'm a fanboy  :grin: :grin:

Not sure whay these mac boys are talking about :rolleyes: I am starting to think this whole apple thing a ponzi scheme  :lipsrsealed:

Anyway... I have always run laptops (sony) and never had any problems. I would go for this and save a few pennies + get a good machine  :smiley:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
