Laptop recommendations?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>So my computer is old and crappy as hell, and I'm getting a laptop (I'm like the only one that doesn't have one).</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure most of you have one, so any good recommendations? I'm not leaning towards a specialized one (like hardcore gaming, business, or w/e), but more for general use. I'm still looking for one with a solid storage capacity (~300GB's at least, IMO), pretty good graphic card enough to run most games (except maybe the ultra 3D ones), obv. >2~3G ram, leaning towards Windows (XP/Vista probably, although doesn't matter too much), I don't care much about screen size, weight (portability), but I do need obviously decent to high speed, etc...</p>

<p>I'm not willing to spend too much, but good enough for the product's worth - not something entirely cheap. Finding that ideal balance is necessary, I guess.</p>

<p>So what do you people own? And (possible) recommendations/experiences?</p>

<p>I do not know much about laptops but do not get toshiba.</p>

<p>We use toshiba laptops for school, and they are no better than shxtz.</p>

<p>Yeah brand product to company to specifics are welcome. I mean I could easily research and I’m decently knowledgeable, but I still seek advance opinions and just to make sure.</p>

<p>Plus it’s a semi-discussion thread too.</p>

<p>Bumping.</p>

<p>Here’s another one: Vista or XP (which do you prefer)?</p>

<p>I have a Dell XPS M1330 w/ Vista. I personally don’t think too highly of it, but it acceses the internet and that’s all I care about. It’s still pricey too I think, so yeahh im pretty much not recommending it.</p>

<p>Don’t get a gateway either.</p>

<p>Why not Windows 7?</p>

<p>Get a mac (macbook pro). I bought one and never looked back. So clean looking and sexy. They also don’t get viruses so won’t slow down on you over time like PCs. The interface is a lot nicer too. If you’re on a budget, by one of the previous versions or two. You don’t need the latest one. Also, you could go refurbished.</p>

I’m fine with this too, except I believe it’s still in beta and not many people currently use it. I’m thinking about it.</p>

<p>Windows 7 came out 3 months ago o.o</p>

<p>It was in beta for a year beforehand and worked well enough that they skipped a second beta stage before release. I have it and it’s nice.</p>

<p>Lol then I must’ve been missing something. Yeah one of my friends has 7 and he says it’s nice, so I might get that.</p>
