OK, this right here is conclusive proof that you are still sig-whoring. If you visited that website (or knew anything about it, like, what they sell) you wouldn't have asked such a stupid question. Why don't you visit the website and you tell me why I would not just buy one from my local store.

You know, I thought about that. And then I thought "Damn, you know, I'd still like to be able to create files that other people can read."

The dualboot for the mac laptops work pretty well. I have a macbook blk one and also macbook pro 17" both work nicely with dual boot on both.

You can always run microsoft office inside macOS, or you can boot your intel macs into windows...

i think you know that but just a reminder.

Well, I could just order another Dell/Lenovo/Toshiba ad nauseum with XP installed with a free upgrade to Vista, but thats the whole idea of going to EL is to avoid Microsoft.

Ah well, I should stop badmouthing Apple. Most of my resentment for them comes from the days when I had to deal with their old POS boxes from way back when, they have come quite a ways since then. I may be forced to actually consider them again.

What is the deal with interopperability, I can run OpenOffice.org for my office suite, what about windows apps on it?

reynold · 11-23-2006, 07:36 AM

I just bought a second hand laptop here from my brother-in-law. It's still doing good.

ServerGenius · 11-23-2006, 07:42 AM

Way overpriced what I saw on that website. Just buy a dell, ibm, sony or toshiba, download ubuntu (free) install that shit within 10 minutes....and you're
good to go.

Klen · 11-23-2006, 07:44 AM

I dont like laptops beacuse they are overpriced when you compare them with ordinary pc.

NinjaSteve · 11-23-2006, 08:25 AM

i never bought anythng there

bobby666 · 11-23-2006, 08:58 AM

no no, no serious place here :-)

I dont want to attempt to do that myself. I am not THAT comfortable with Linux that I am willing to try to write custom drivers and make stuff work. I have heard people spend weeks trying to get everything to work when they install a lappy and get everything working as it should.

I agree, for the longest time I resisted buying a laptop but eventually I just couldn't get buy without having e-mail and access to the net and my files and shit with me at all times. I still hate laptops for the most part, right now what really pisses me off is the fact that if I want anything more than a 120 GB HDD, I have to fucking buy a top-notch system and pay through the nose and then I still cant get more than about 200 GB, which is enough room for an OS and like five porn videos, some music and some programs and thats it.

When desktop drives are at 750GB, I don't think a 500GB laptop is such a big request, even if it was two separate drives. Toshiba has a laptop with two HDDs, but they are both 120GB drives. What are these people thinking when they design these things? I mean I can understand having a entry level model, but Jesus Christ, even their "high performance" models are still entry level on the specs department.

minusonebit · 11-23-2006, 06:25 PM

Ideally, what I want is this thing (full specs here). The only thing I don't like about it is the tiny ass hard drives. But having two drives would permit software RAID, which would be kinda sorta nice, cant decide on that yet, or I could make one the OS drive and the other a data drive, or mirror them or something else. No need for dual boot, I plan to get rid of XP/Vista and not look back, so I want a bridge back as I know I will be too tempted to cross that bridge.

But I don't want Windows on it and that lappy has alot of proprietary shit (the fingerprint reader, the stuff on the mouspad, etc) and I am not knowledgeable enough about Linux to try to tackle such a problem. What I really need to do is find someone who is super-knowledgeable about Slackware and get them to do it for a fee, but all of the Linux whores I know are too busy doing thier own shit right now, moving, sucking their boss off for another promotion, etc to be taking on side projects.

hent · 11-23-2006, 06:25 PM

Most PCs and laptops have drivers written already if you go with something like RedHat. I know a few years ago it was more important to take a look at the hardware to make sure it was compatible with linux, but I've installed on several machines including laptops and haven't had issues in years.
