I don't smoke weed… Turns you into a rainbow loving hippy... I stick to wine and liquor hid in paper bags...

@hectic:

yup, mostly, but I would like something aesthetically pleasing. 15 inch no smaller. Thanks for any suggestions.

i guess it's mostly down to taste in the end hectic - most laptops are built from the same components from the same factories and then badged (like seagate, wdc, hitachi hard drives; or ati (amd) and nvidia graphics blah blah blah)

my firm use dell because we literally have thousands of units and the biggest concern is reliability and back-up . . . ibm are the challengers there

generally my view is that sony and apple (as examples - especially apple now running their operating system on pc hardware) remain very design orientated and cost is slightly higher whereas the dells and ibms focus towards business so design takes a back seat . . . and then there are dozens of good firms in between

summing up then - I wouldn't bother with a desktop from them due to available software and performance issues but for me ANY apple product is a thing of beauty and would easy do the general stuff you're looking at

i'm with you on that one . . . f-ckin' tree-huggers . . . plus as you'd imagine, you get a free brown paper bag with every bottle purchased up here

The Mac is a great call of course, gotta get over the cultism tax resistance and then I will probably go for it.

What exactly took place on December 17th 2010 that caused the board to have the most people ever online at on time @ 348?

Was there a special release?

[Giles]

We have absolutely no idea.  We did nothing special, not even a Tweet.  We trawled other forums for mentions/links - found nothing…...........
