So I shorted my computer somehow and am in need of a new one. Right now, I'm looking for something with 2+ gigs of ram, and 150+gb harddrive. I think i'd like a better than a mac as well, I'm willing to spend 400-800ish.... Any advice?

Re: Advice on new computers.
The standard question to ask is what do you do (or plan to do) with your computer?
Desktop or Laptop? For a laptop, what size or how about even a mini-netbook type thing?
Do you play any 3d games? Is that important?
Do you plan to use your PC as a media center to watch movies and TV?
Do you have any special software you want to be able to run?
What kinds of connections do you need?this post = teh win. -
Re: Advice on new computers.
Whether you by a laptop or desktop, do yourself a favor and buy an Apple. Even if it's used, you are better off...they don't get viruses.
Even with the best anti-virus software installed, every PC I've owned craped out after a couple of years.Last edited by crusader1492; 01-06-2009, 04:45 PM.Comment

Re: Advice on new computers.
Crusader, perhaps it's more about what you've done with your computer?
I haven't had any problems w/ pc + trend micro virus protection for 5 years.

Re: Advice on new computers.
It wouldn't be much of a "favor" if he likes to play a lot of games (real games). Before recommending, first find out what he intends to do with itOriginally posted by crusader1492 View Post
Apple is faaaaaaaaar from being the solution to everything.

Re: Advice on new computers.
Games don't matter to me that much, I mainly use a computer for anything related to Microsoft Office, the internet, editing movies, music, and photoshop. Previously i was running on a crappy compaq (1.5g of ram, 69.5 hard drive) that I bought myself in 9th grade, so anything is pretty much better. I'm surprised it lasted this long.
And while conventional wisdom says I should get a mac, I just happen to hate them, don't ask me why cause idk why, I just doComment
