    Tardis What's a good PC to buy (as if there were one)...

    I don't want a PC! I don't want a PC!!!! I HATE PCs!!!! I'm a MAChead, dammit!!! But, reality is reality and as such, I'm faced with having to buy a PC (a laptop, not a tower Piece'a Crap) so's I can learn me some Microsoft Office nonsense (like Excel and Powerpoint---two programs that are anathema to a longtime Graphic Designer such as myself).


    Anyone with insights on what a good PC laptop would be to purchase at a reasonable (under $500) price...?
    Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

    I just got a Dell Inspiron, after ONLY EVER OWNING Macs before, and I like it. Has more memory and speed than the new iMac we just got. I think it was $549, but you can get them cheaper at CostCo.
    WH--? Where in blazes are we, Wall Crawler?

    Don't do it!!!! Either get a Mac and install windows with boot camp or just get Microsoft Office for Mac. Once you start down the path to the Dark Side, it will forever control your destiny!!! Consume you, it will!!!!

    bootcamp or Office for Mac if you just have to deal with Excel and Powerpoint.
    Other than that, I'll vouch for Dell as he is local to me and supports a bunch of kids programs and such in the area.

    yeah, Mac is the way to go . . I've been a heavy user since 1979

    however, as my son is getting to be that age where he wants to use our single computer as much as I do. . . .and since the entry point for the delicious Mac is $1200 plus plus plus, I've considered a basic Dell laptop for his #MinecraftAddiction. At $600 or so, it's solid. You gotta figure that the BOTTOM of the line PC laptop produced in the year 2012 is oodles better than something comparable 10 years ago. . . . .
