Oh yeah, and the monitor is awesome. The screen itself is made out of glass. :D
It's not flatscreen?Quote:

It depends on what ya like!!
To be honest, I like just a regular PC with Windows on it so I can update it however I please.
I am not a dell or a Mac fan AT ALL. It seems every Dell laptop I ever got broke down, and I am too dumb to figure out how to work Mac.
Do some research, look at the programs that come with it, and figure out what you want best!! :D

Well keep in mind that Macs are pretty shit, I don't know why they are but when I used them at school I just felt like asking why it's "good". Don't you just hate the one button mouse?
I realize now that the only reason they were classed as good is because they were new.
OS X is a little bit different from an Apple II running Logo & Turtle....Quote:

Wrong anyway.
Didn't I read from one of you people that Vista is terrible for games? :eh: You may need to downgrade, JDea. It needs a loooooooooooot of RAM. It works really well for Adam because he has a pile of it. :)
Yeah, I'm running on 2GB here and I turned off AERO because it was lagging up pretty much any program with a few embedded windows. I don't even want to imagine what would happen with 1GBQuote:

Umm.. Macs have shipped standard with a two button mighty mouse for several years now. For non-technical users "better" is just a preference. The people that told you Macs were better were probably technical people or programmers that consider things like security, integration, developer APIs, and memory handling. Macs are "better" at all of those.
Those people that say PCs are better make me laugh because they are referring to the combination of Windows and the PC. Windows Vista runs better on Mac hardware than PC hardware :P (PC World, November)
Arby mentioned Aero, the glasslike window engine. Mac had the same thing in Panther (i think) and had hacks into it until Tiger and they never lagged at all, even on very little RAM. My PC, which couldn't run aero runs Compriz on Linux at full speed, which is far more advanced that anything aero does.
Right, how do I get XP? Someone tell me, please.Quote:
