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.

    • And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth  
    • I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years. 
    • We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
