Virtual Headache October 30th, 2006 12:13 PM

My laptop is the best :P
about 300 MHz, battery doesn't work, no idea how much space I have, won't work properly with Windows 98, so it's running Linux, needs an extra cooler so it doesn't get too hot + it's 298506403196 years old :D

I still like using it sometimes though, I just don't trust it...

I might get a laptop if I get a job of my own. This computer is old; I'd like something not as bad. XD;

Get it for Christmas then. XD
Well buying your own laptop might take some time...

You should upgrade a few things if it's 298506403196 years old. XD

Wow... there is something worse than my computer. >:

Reminds me of a really really really old laptop we had once upon a time... we only used it for Solitaire. XD I wonder what happened to it.

No one spends that kind of money on me for Christmas, and I don't get enough money.
Yes, it will, but that's the ONLY way I'll be getting one, I can assure you. >:

I don't know... if it's that old, you might save more money by buying a new one. XD

The highest priced thing I ever got was my laptop. Other then that most of my Christmas/Birthday stuff was around $200-300 (at the most, I tend to get forgotten sometimes.... XD). XD

If it's a good laptop then there's nothing wrong on keeping it. XD

Cloud_boy October 30th, 2006 12:42 PM

Yeah, I know it is. If I don't get it for Christmas I think I'm going to save up and buy it next year. Seeing as I've got a job now, I've got a bit of spare cash.

Alex_ October 30th, 2006 1:31 PM

I myself like PC's better than Laptops...

I totally agree with you there. ;)

MegaFuz October 30th, 2006 2:30 PM

I do too, but I needed the portability of a laptop for college. o.o

Ho-Oh October 30th, 2006 3:17 PM

Yeah, I never liked laptops..too breakable..but normal computers are better because they are cheaper to replace.

Brittany October 30th, 2006 3:57 PM

Laptops... I'm overdue on a new one >.< I'm waiting for the price of Samsung's(and whoever else) pretty little flash-based drives to go down.

Lighter, less breakage, generally faster, and less power usage. Until I can not worry about the computer going dead in 4 hours or adding extra weight(batteries) to compensate, I'm not ready to go through that hassle again.

I'm gonna either sell my computer or give it to my cousin, I can't risk bringing such a heavy breakable monitor/screen to campus. It may be 11 months from now but I better start on packing some things and decide whether to buy a dell or a vaio one.

Kylie-chan October 30th, 2006 4:20 PM

Ahahahahahaha. I've had the worst luck ever with laptops, I've melted over four motherboards and burnt over ten power packs. >___>; IN TWO YEARS.

Hi Brittany. ^_^ Nice to see you back. :D *misses a lot of older members ^^;*

Sorano October 30th, 2006 4:25 PM

Haha~ my laptop sucks. Each time I move with it on my lap, or move the screen, it turns off. D; I hate it. Everyone else in my family gets a good one, but do I? No, of course not.

Kylie-chan October 30th, 2006 4:26 PM

I want a desktop computer. :x Imma get one next year.

Personally, I'd go for the Vaio. I've heard some horror stories about Dell computers. o.o

Unless you're getting the XPS for gaming you shouldn't get a Dell. An XPS is great for plaing games on it. But in the end it's a Dell, and Dells aren't all that good.

Well it does cost a bit. You have to remember, the price you saw on HP.com was just a starting price, you'll have to get a larger HDD, more memory, RAM and other things.

Over all on specs and stuff desktops are better. But I like a laptop because I can take it on the go. Right now I'm in my brother's room, if I had a desktop then I couldn't move from my room to his room to the living room to the office and so on.

Well a Dell is a.... well a Dell. Lots of "pretty" stories has been told about Dells. And a Vaio is Sony after all. You got the whole PSP probs, PS2 probs, PS3 probs. And then you got the probs about Sony batteries sort of.... well bursting into flames....

Snatch one of their computers, that way you'll have a good one. XD
Take David's laptop!!!! XD

Yeah, that would help a lot. Or, he could ask for a new laptop for Christmas and give me his old one. XD~

Mystic October 30th, 2006 6:36 PM

I rather have a PC than a laptop. Unless I was always on the road then I would consider a laptop then.

Drifblim October 30th, 2006 6:54 PM

If I can use a mouse other than the touch pad on a laptop, I'm fine. If not, get me a desktop. Flatscreen, too. Luckily, the school has lots.

Knowing you, you'll probably spend the money on music sub-consciously ;)
My IBM's alright, but as with most of my friends, I prefer my desktop ^^;;

I think he likes his laptop too much to give you his. XD

Do what I did, get a nice wireless mouse. You don't have to play $40 bucks like me (I would have went for one that was $80 if I had the cash XD), most Logitch mice are good.
