I need a laptop cause I'm going away more and more for my work and need help with what to buy. |

Well he says that he's looking for something around $1000 with basic business stuff. I would get a PC unless you're going to be doing graphics design. |
|
Sorry i didnt see that. |
|
I would recommend a PC. Yes, it can do everything a Mac can (and it will inevitably cost less). The only real downside to picking a PC over a Mac is that you aren't really going to look very hip and trendy. |
|
I just went through the process myself - my old Winbook finally tanked. |

I'll be getting what is effectively a free Macbook on the 5th next month. I think I might write a nice comparison thing once I get it. I'm interested myself to see if Macs really are any good etc. |
|
They're good, but for the money, I believe not good enough. |
|
Apparently most of the notable programs for PC have a similar replacement for Mac and Linux, but really, why even bother? |
|
If you are doing music, graphic design, or basically any kind of memory hog type situation... You'll eventually want to go Mac. For Games, though, you'll want to stay on PC. (Although, they do have windows emulators for Mac) |

Unfortunately, with a 1000$ you're pretty much limited to a PC. Is there any way you can hold out for the Mac? I had a Toshiba Dynabook before my Mac and the hard drive crapped out as well as the screen. Sure, I thought it was a steal at 1100$ but later realized it was an absolute waste of money, considering I always kept it in my case, and rarely used it except when on the road for backup. I only had it 2years before breaking, and I'm not the only one to have Toshiba crap out on them. Whatever you do, stay away from Toshiba at all costs... |

If you have 1 grand for a PC BUILD ONE!!!! And if you cant build one one of your should. 1000 dollars will get you a faster PC than the best XPS (dell) on the market NO JOKE. |
|
You can't build a laptop...which is what he is asking for... |

They have the Mac Book (Starting at just $1099) which isn't as high-end as their Mac Book Pro (previously Power Book) series but probably are now about as fast as mine is, considering I bought mine a year ago. |

38 days uptime? That's not bad. |
|
Macs are as stable as the PC. |
|
Wait what kind of programs are you running or is "uptime/running time" just how long it's been since you last restarted? If so I've restarted my computer maybe 3 times since I installed Vista close to 4 months ago. |
|
I'd say go for a PC. |
