Well, i'm 14, i'm saving up for things, such as a laptop for the future, i would be thinking of buying one around junior or senior year, hopefully their price would have gone down.... But I was wondering, I would be designing with art software and ----, are Macs that much better than those of PC? cuz the 3 companies im considering are: -Alienware: i know its primarily a gaming thing, but they're so ----ing fast and awesome... -dell: pretty reliable pc company as i have a computer of theirs now... -mac: i have heard they're much better for graphics/movie editing and such like that... please fill me on, im young and nieve (is that how you spell it?
dell is pure crap, horribly overpriced and all their hardware components are proprietory. try fujitsu, they are really good. my friend got one from them a while back(he got a good deal, his comp i about a year old now) specs: P4 mobility @3.2ghz 1gig ddr400 so-dim 80gig HD 256mb mobility radeon gfx card DVD writer 17inch screen he got that for 1300$ which is pretty good for alaptop
try www.voodoopc.com i've heard they are very good. and maybe don't get a laptop, i'm on one now, there kind of cool, but the battery time sucks, and have half the specs of a pc the same price.
Heres a suggestion for ya buddy, ignore this douche bag! Dells a great PC's! Mine is now 2 months old and I have no problems with it what so ever! Intel Pentium 4 Processor 3.0 GHz 145 GB HD 1 GB Ram 16x CD/DVD-RW Cd Burner Amongst other things like my free 17 in. Flat Panel upgrade, I only paid 800 bucks for it! So ignore him... thats some good advice right there
make sure that if you go with dell pay that extra $$$ for there extendeded warrently... we had some problems with out laptop and they helped us out... the three year warrenty has expired and we had a fan go out and now they wont help us... so make sure you get there service package...w/o it they wont help you at all...with it they help a ---- load
i personally have a dell laptop and would recomend them to anyone... but dont buy the dell pc's they suck. alienware over priced and you can get an even faster pc than theirs for less cost. not sure about the mac but dell do make the best laptops. so go for the dell laptop mate.
i think if you have the money for the aleinware you should just get a dell or costum online comp wich would be like 2/3 to half the price wich leaves you alot of room for new software and ram and other upgrades.
