Need computer recommendations

[van7559]

Need a new computer badly. We have had the same computer since 2003, and I have nothing but issues with this fawking thing. I want something new. Prefer to stick with something like hp, or the like. I don't play games, and that kinda stuff, all we do is music, forums, and pics, general surfing and youtube kinda shit. Anybody know of any smoking deals as of right now? I don't really want used, somebody help!!!!!!!!!!

If you're willing to make the leap, My mac is the best thing ever in terms of computers. Pricey but worth every penny.

Almost like shooting a Hi-point all your life then finally getting a Glock.

There's no looking back.

i am retarted when it comes to this shit, but I always here people say never get a mac, what the hell is the difference?

[Scanker19]

Two completely different operating systems. I'm not sure how to explain it myself, but I think its the "language" they speak are different.

Makes it harder to get Windows based viruses. Although not virus proof my Mac hasn't had one yet, least not one i've noticed.

But you have some compatibility issues with some things but not a lot, mostly games. the only real problem i've had is army stuff, form program, websites.
I do have a program that runs windows as a separate program in a different window to do all this with.

There has to be an apple geek here that can break this down Barney Big Bird Style.

talk to byte stryke. i am sure he will be in here soon enough.

he can build you exactly what you need for far less that you would pay at wal-mart or best buy or dell for something generic. and he will help you out with software issues and anything that might come up.

my next desktop will be built by him when mine finally dies.

+1 on this.

Never pay more than $300 for a non-gaming computer. Always go with a local builder who will back up his work. Byte's reputation on this board is pretty easy to verify.

Byte definitely knows his stuff (I'm in the biz and watching his posts and talking with him, I can tell he's really good at this sort of thing. Plus, with Byte, he is willing to back up his work - rare to find that these days.

Someone Called?





You have to ask yourself a few things:

What am I going to use this for?
What is my Budget?
what is your aptitude and learning level?

If you are going to sit at Starbucks writing the next great American novel or "Cropping your shoot"
Go mac.
Macs have their Niche, they are stable, but they are very pricey and allot of users find the OS Differences are too much. I Actually know a young lady that just sold Her Mac-book air for $300 because it was "too hard"

If you are Just browsing the web and checking email, a PC or a Linux box is fine. There will always be the learning curve with Linux, but it is shrinking.
My Mom knows Ubuntu at a user level now.

Gamers will pretty much always be tethered to a windows box unless you get into an emulator.


so if you want to bring me that computer, we will see what we can do. but just to surf and watch youtube, you don't need allot of a computer.
Chances are I can clean that one up and get it running better for you.
I have a fixed or free guarantee.
Send me a PM with a phone number

Now if you are stuck on getting a new machine I would recommend dell returns for your uses. Solid, stable, nothing fancy
Refurbished Laptops or refurbished Desktops
