david Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 If either of you can tell me what you think is so special about Macbooks that warrants spending the extra money on them, have at it. Same processors, same GPUs, same motherboards, same chinese manufacturing plants the light up apple on the front. Deffinitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same processors, same GPUs, same motherboards, same chinese manufacturing plants the light up apple on the front. Deffinitely. one of my housemates has this ugly, chunky white dell laptop, and he's hilariously stuck an apple logo sticker over the dell logo on the front. i chortled.

Guest Gary C Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Fuck, now the Toshiba (with Blu-Ray) is £50 cheaper. Down to £750, but with a 10% discount I'll be on the right side of £700 and my preferred target. I'm not sure I can refrain 'til New Year's. I need some kind of assurance that it will definitely be cheaper even still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltoi Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 i'm considering getting something on interest free credit from here... My link £600-700 laptop for about £5 for 52 weeks. what's the catch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gary C Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I don't know, but I'd bet that if you miss a single payment they will absolutely fuck you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhonny Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 i'm considering getting something on interest free credit from here... My link £600-700 laptop for about £5 for 52 weeks. what's the catch? for that price it's 156 weeks of repayment with 30% APR. So a £500 laptop you'll pay back around £876 after 3 years! Interest free your repayments are about £10 a week over 52 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patternoverlap Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Yeah, pay it off while there's no interest. If you have a remaining balance after that they will rape you with interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interest free your repayments are about £10 a week over 52 weeks. yeah £5/week was a wild exaggeration on my part. i could easily pay around £10 a week for 52 weeks interest free. seems the catch is that the prices on this site are pretty steep.

Guest Gary C Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Any final thoughts? Unless I'm sold on something else in store, which is unlikely, I'm going for a Toshiba Satellite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muflontillah Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 My old T60p Lenovo is having its last night tonight. As I will maybe change it tomorrow after a "lucky" gifting under the family Christmas tree. If it´s not going to happen, then I am sentenced to another long year of "too-simple" computer working, while the half of functions normal pc have are on this crapper not possible. ...posting while enjoying the sound of my breakcore fan.

Muflontillah Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 if only I would be at home now so I can scroll through the magazines and pick some cool stuff for you. I was into laptops a lot these days, but without the papers I can remember a shit. What about Toshiba Qosmio? ...new Lenovo Think Pads are quite cool too... something around SL510, quite strong machines(not only for fun). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rowla Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Not HP. In 6 months I've had a new battery, mouse pad, keys and after getting it back from it's latest repair, the wifi adapter is fucked. A MacBook pro is my next purchase.
