Getting rid of MacBook for PC ..

**cjvdh** · 06-19-2008, 11:59 AM

Yeah so I dont know im looking for a change have been a mac user for awhile now Ive had PC's when I was younger but I dun know im just tired of looking on this little 13inch screen squinting to see ****. I mean its a very nice laptop just not something I want anymore.

Anyone have any good suggestions on desktops ?

You sir are a GOOD man! Welcome to the PC world!!!!

Let me guess was it the Copy and Paste?

Erm the Dell XPS is a good laptop if thats what youre looking for if you want a desktop just get a custom made its cheaper and better. My 2 cents

want to give me your macbook? or sell its parts? email me! ( [email protected])

Bad idea. I use both and will always like the stability of my Mac. If you're tired of the 13" screen buy a 15 or 17" macbook pro. More expensive but will PWN a Dell XPS.

I'm vice versa. Shopping for a Macbook Pro now.. Mac is the way to go now, especially when you can run PC on Mac now. Best of both world.

Mac is stable, but I would take a PC over it anyday... I just hate how macs are soo over priced... it's top of the line 100% but still it's still a computer.. I use a 500 dollar dell laptop and then two server desktops.. I would go with dell, they have the best prices for quality...

theres just something about a pc that i love, the ability to gut the entire thing and scrap it together with more or less parts sometimes not even in a tower. I don't think i've ever taken my servers apart and not had either left over screws or not enough. but they still run

i think chaos inspires creativity

**DarkMirc** · 06-19-2008, 01:36 PM

i have a suggestion, close the lid and use it to put your dinner on it.

**sn0ws** · 06-19-2008, 02:01 PM

thanks middi, but i'll stick with my pc. it's number 2. but i think it's better

**cjvdh** · 06-19-2008, 02:53 PM

I dont know its just for what I need computer right MAC just really isnt the way to go. Its hard finding downloads for MACS and I own a photography buisness and im just sick of apple right now.

Anyone know if the HP Phenom with the x64 is anygood desktop ?

**Rosbaughcr** · 06-19-2008, 03:02 PM

Wait... you own a photgraphy business? I have a Macbook and a frankenstien PC desktop, and I prefer the PC. But from what I've always seen/heard/whatever is that Mac is defiantely the way to go from Graphic Design, Photoshop, etc. Are you sure you want a PC, or are you just a little annoyed with your Mac at the momment? You don't want to regret the switch later. If you're strictly the business owner and don't deal with the photography piece of the business just ignore me altogether.

Yeah just for what I need a computer for right now I think and windows based PC would be good for me right now. I just miss a really big monitor and just having windows features. Anyone have any good advice on a good desktop system looking only to spend like 600-700 + I need a monitor any suggestions PC users ?
