sarcasm Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 So i'm a starving college student, and over the summer i plan on saving up for a laptop for the new school year. and i was wondering , in your guys's opinions, if i should get an apple laptop (ibook, power book) or a windows based laptop (dell, gateway, etc).... perks of either or? any good things about the apple system rather than the norm? (i've always had windows so im comfortable with the windows os) again, i am a college student, but a electrical engineering major, so i won't be typing up a lot of essays... so any suggestions?

Guest BROWNer Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 http://www.kernelthread.com/mac/pb17/gallery/images/1.jpg'> you should probably go with what's cheap and familiar....or you could buy this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26SidedCube Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 All I know is I'm on my friend's laptop since mine took a dump on me and his power cord is split but it's been working fine for the past month or so.. anyway, the last connecting thread of the power line just broke for the last time without having to be fixed. I just spent about 20 minutes trying different methods to stretch the wires back together before I gave in and searched for an old power adapter to cut some copper out of. Anyway, the problem is solved and I don't know what kind of advice to give you on what kind of laptop to buy. Since you're in college you should ask a Japanese kid who's in design classes. Or just a Japanese kid in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveboxcars Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 alienware for laptops.. overpriced but worth it.. so i guess that makes them not over priced. go apple if alienware is not an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanity Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 i laughed last time i saw an alienware computer... those things are HUGE... like 3x the size of any other box. it did have nice specs though.... but it's not hard to get a computer suped up.

seeking Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 wasnt there just a big thread on this? i dont know what programs you use for engineering, but i'm a big fan of the ibook. it's cheap, reliable, sturdy, and you'll never get a driver error. that's reason enough for me.
