Laptop recommendations?


Jorge Aguirre

Recommended Posts

A few days ago my not even a year old HP Notebook messed up on me for the second time. I've had enough and I'm going to buy a new one soon. I really want a MacBook but the price for them is a lot!!! Is it worth the buying one? I don't necessarily want an Apple MacBook, but at this point I'll take whatever works better than a laptop running Windows 10. Let me know what you guys suggest I go with or recommend me.

I just bought an iPad when I got to the point where I needed one.  I am done with laptops.

Depending on what you need it for that may not work.  If it does work for you though then I would recommend it.  I have never liked Mac computers or the iPhone, but I love my iPad (Apple TV kicks ass too).

Any of the apple family is a good choice, but cost is always a consideration with those.  I bought a MacBook Pro with Retina 3 years ago and it's run like a dream ever since.  

A Lenovo product or a Surface Pro/Surface Book would be nice options as well.

One of the cheapest ones I seen was a MacBook Air for $999. If I use the student discount I get a $50 discount, but with NC state tax applied, I'll have to shell out $1000 for it. 

I am leaning towards a Surface Pro/ Surface though. Seems like a good second option IMO.

Had my MacBook Pro since mid-2010 and  the only upgrade I have had to do is swap out 4 for 8 gigs of RAM and swap out the HDD with a SSD. 

 

Runs perfectly. $1,100 initial costs followed by $200 in late-life upgrades leaves me at $1,300 for a machine that has lasted almost 6 years now. I'd say hats a pretty good investment.

I've got a 7-8 year old Sony Vaio that is still going pretty strong. It has easily been the most durable and versatile laptop or desktop I have ever owned. I spent a pretty penny on it back in the day (over $1k IIRC) and it has been worth it.

FWIW I still run Vista on it too, and IJDGAF TBQH... I even have the Windows 7 upgrade disc that they mailed to me as a part of a promotion (free upgrade when it was released) and I just never installed it.

I use that sumbitch to make music, play online games, stream movies, etc. No problems.  You might could find you a good refurb or a used one somewhere and save a lot of money in the interim.

    • Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?
    • Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.
    • Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
