Laptop recommendations?

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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
