Laptop Purchase?

since when did windows force you to install "all the anti virus crap"?

I dont know. Norton and junk is usually std on windows laptops, no?

I know nothing about computers. The last 2 I had was given to me from my college so if I just had an issue I would bring it to the lab. LOL.

man windows owns MAC is so many different ways, especially with the release of windows 7, id stay with PC.

in regards to laptops coming pre-loaded with un-wanted junk like virus scanners etc, you can always reformat your self or request a clean format when you purchase your laptop so you can determine what programs will be installed.

You can put it in this sexy shoulder bag :O

Go after small and portable. If I needed a laptop today I'd do macbook air. If you go PC don't buy anything other than lenovo.

it really depends on what you gonna use it for, but I'd go with windows 7

im pretty sure when u buy a laptop u can tell them not to put in the extra stuff besides what you really need.

I think the macs are awesome but the interface is a bit different and may take a little bit to get used to.

Im going to use it to play on stars and as my everyday laptop. Anyone know about PT3 being available on Macs?

Do you have a desktop? I bought my laptop with poker in mind. I never use it for poker. I've found that when I do I play poorly.

When I do travel and play poker I pack a 24 inch LCD + Laptop.

Lenovo's are the nuts, completely agree with this advice

I have a sony FW w/ HD screen, works great for poker except i'm like 15 buyins below ev on it.

if your a poker player, dont get a mac.. if your a normal person that doesnt have money to pretty much light on fire, dont get a mac.. laptop that is.. the new imac 27" is another story..

anyway get the cheapest laptop you can find that has a high res screen.. the ones that go 1920Xsomething.. that way its like playing on a 24"in monitor when u jump on your laptop.

thanks for the advice guys i appreciate it.

dell studio xps 16.

You can instal windows on any mac

I also vouch for lenovo. My lenovo was only $550 at newegg.com and it works amazingly well with no frustration. Other people with their Dells and other brands seems to have some headaches with theirs.

sony is expensive but never has any problems, probably half the ppl at my school have lenovo and it's a tech school so that tell u how reliable they r also

Get an alienware laptop!
