I agree 100% with this statement.

Wow! this thread went to uncharted waters.

I been looking and messing with all kinds of computers. One that I thought was really cool and might just keep me with windows was a HP TouchSmart with 8gb ram and a 500gb HD. But the Macs are so cool! It's gonna take more reading and hands on fiddling before I buy anything. I'm using a crappy comp right now that's missing a hand full of keys and the screen is not the best.

The one that got murdered was a dell xps 1012 and for the life of me couldn't get to install SP1. I've read about Vista having problems with Mc caffe and thats what was not allowing SP1 to install so I uninstalled Mc Cafee and tried with no luck. Re installs and crashes, errors really just got me to the boiling point with everything else the dang things been doing and I guess I had to get a little steam out from me personal life on top of it. The planets were aligned and told me to kill the Dell!

No, p@rn sites were not browsed with my computers! I fear them like the plague! They are the plague.

I'm still looking. Narrowing it down to a few now.

Cheers!

I'm still a PC guy.

I will buy an Asus G50VT-B1 today or tomorrow - 15.4" WSXGA+ Glossy (1680x1050), CPU: Core 2 Duo T9550 2.66GHz, RAM: 4096 MB DDR2 800MHz, HDD: 640GB 7200RPM (2x320GB), nVidia GeForce 9800M GS 512MB PCI-Express DDR3 DX10 .

If you know of something better for gaming for $1500 let me know.

For gaming you can't beat a build it yourself PC.

I will do that next as I didn't buy a gaming PC.

Today I bought a HP 16-1140US and it is awesome. It does have a nice graphics card (nVidia GeForce 9600M GT 512mb) and great sound for a laptop! Upgradeable memory to 8gb but it came with 4gb. Has a big bright and pretty screen and a HDMI port for playing some games on my 65inch DLP.

I'm really happy with this one. I won't destroy this one for a long time.

Cheers!
