Dropped my laptop and it died just days after my desktop motherboard blew up - GoFuckYourself.com

So now I need TWO new ones.

Which brand should I choose and what SHOULD I spend on each? I do not use the "entertainment parts" much - it is mostly for work.

candyflip · 04-07-2009, 12:21 PM

I love my Macs, but the cost of their desktops compared to others is a bit nuts.

Everyone has an opinion. I buy what makes me happy at that exact moment.

sextoyking · 04-07-2009, 12:22 PM

Go with dell

OY · 04-07-2009, 12:23 PM

I thought of MAC but just cant find a good enough reason to get one other than they are pretty to look at. I am way too comfortable with PC.

Dell is what I hear a lot from guys that repairs PCs too - I just dont like the way they look....

sextoyking · 04-07-2009, 12:26 PM

Well we have been using dell's for yrs, get good deals in the office / biz section - love those 500.00 systems with xp pro, and 20 inch or free widescreen monitors...

We have them all in the office and never a problem but we don't use them for video or graphic machines, just for online work, ms office, etc.

For a laptop, get a lenovo thinkpad t-series
For a desktop, either build one or get a Dell (Optiplex on their business line)

Both of those ^^ are good all around work machines.

Libertine · 04-07-2009, 12:27 PM

For the laptop - go Mac.
For the desktop - Dell's a decent choice.

michael.kickass · 04-07-2009, 12:27 PM

I have a laptop Dell Studio 1735 and everything runs perfect, if you dont mind the entertainment part for a little more than $700 you can get this model.

Some people think 17" is too large a screen for a laptop and go for the 1535 version, if that were your case you'll be saving even more $.

Scott McD · 04-07-2009, 12:32 PM

Dell probably.

Just hope you don't have to deal with their customer services much though...

Grab a Macbook for the laptop and give it a try for yourself, if you're at all curious.

If you don't like it, load it up with Windows and you're set.

I have a few HP machines that have served us well.

These things always happen in 3's so before you buy a new one, drop an old phone or something.

HerPimp · 04-08-2009, 03:50 AM

stick to gaming models, I don't see the value in anything else.

Sam Granger · 04-08-2009, 05:55 AM

I'm very happy with my HP Pavillion laptop, would recommend. As for desktop, it all really depends. What kind of work will you be doing on it? Video editting? Photoshop?

pornocruto · 04-08-2009, 07:55 AM

Thats pretty tough luck..

Get an Asus.

Both machines were HPs - double bad luck HP. I am currently working off my iPhone so pardon to all waiting for emails from me last few days!

PR_Sebas · 04-08-2009, 09:51 AM

Stay away from HP laptops. Nothing but problems from everyone I know who has one. (Including myself)

You should really just stop and never touch a computer again.

I hate the studios; I ended up grabbing a dual core 2.4Ghz Inspiron 1525 from the outlet for about $600 w/ Bluetooth, Intel 802.11n and 4G RAM. Check out the outlet, and save a couple hundred on both desktop and laptop. I got a quad-core 2.2Ghz last year w/ 19" LCD for about $500. They're so cheap, they're disposable.
