Topic: Please help me choose a new laptop.

Anonymous A started this discussion 12 years ago #36,849

I need one. I have narrowed it down to these three options. Please choose for me as I am far too neurotic.

Why, please?

Because the other two options are just shtick.

You don't need a new laptop, Matt.

No, they are not. I am looking into all three options, seriously.

No you're not. You're just spamming the board. Can I suggest doing it in this topic instead? Thanks.

Christ, Becky, not everything is "spam" and "schtick". I really am getting a new laptop, and I am too neurotic to make a decision. Also, with Falco posting dozens of posts that say things like, "Like ass," I hardly think this is schtick.

90% of what you post is, though.

> I really am getting a new laptop, and I am too neurotic to make a decision.

Who ever narrows their choices down to MacBook, Lenovo, or a tablet? That doesn't even make sense.

> Also, with Falco posting dozens of posts that say things like, "Like ass," I hardly think this is schtick.

Falco's shitposting is art. Take it back.

No, Becky, it really is not. Why don't my choices make sense? I have my own process for narrowing down purchases -- a very neurotic way, but it works for me. I just have problems making the final decision. It really is not schtick: I want people's input, and people here seem to really be into computers.

As for Falco, we shall see. Oh yes, we shall see.

I want something small, portable, but powerful. Basically just that. I also really like Mac OS. Also, I do not want to spend huge amounts of money.

just get an older mpb or even an macbook made after 2009

you can put up to 8-9gb of ram in them but i forget which one, it says in the bios that its incompatible but its definitely not, works fine, the only thing is that it eats up the battery super fast which may or may not be a problem, altogether my mpb with 8gb kit cost around 500 dollars with the ram kit which is significantly much cheaper than a laptop in the same ram class

Weld a car battery and a 42" LED display onto some gigantic Alienware tower. There's your new computer, person.

Please do not ask us how to defrag the fucking thing. HFS+ journaling file system is perfectly capable of taking care of its own garbage collection. If you feel the need to try to "defrag" it, kindly eat shit and die.

Get a Sandy Bridge ThinkPad on eBay (if you don't need raw power I'd even go back to a T/X200) and use the money saved to buy a nice desktop for video games.
