I need help deciding what laptop to get!
« on: February 18, 2009, 11:02:02 PM »
The Gateway's specs are here at Best Buy:

The Apple's specs are here at Apple:

I have a 2007 Dell Inspiron 1501 right now with an AMD processor, and it lags pretty badly. I hate it!
I don't want to spend more than $1,000,
and would LOVE to spend around $700.
I am a student and use the laptop for web browsing, watching movies, writing papers, no heavy gaming or anything.

Also, if you have any other laptop recommendations, let me know in a message!

I really appreciate it!

Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

You're funny, new guy!  I like you.  Why don't you come over to my house and entertain me?

MacBook < $1,000 OMGLMAOWTFBBQ!

I think you should get one of these and then go here and then you can have your MacBook for FREE!

Unleash your fury all over my body.

I don't think Detta can provide the amount of Kleenex needed to mop that up.

We will be needing a towel.

93 days until Towel Day.  Time to buy a new nutrient- and anti-depressant-soaked towel.
