Hi All

Mu current laptop is slowly dieing and needs a replacemnt

Now my laptop basically has to be very powerfull as it aso doubles as my desktop and my dvd player.

So suggestions please

I am open to the ide of mac's as well.

Use's- well Photoshopping (I am learning ) Gameing, Internet, Office etc.

Oh Budget- well upto 1500 pounds Pref less but if needs be i can stretch

Any Suggestion?

N.B- Oh and I Hate PC WORLD so i'd rather not go near the place at all- they refused to repair a desk top i had even thouhg my parents had paid 450 quid for the 'cover'

15" MacBook Pro.

You will never look back. I made the leap last October and wish i had done it earlier

for £1499 you can get a MBP with the following

15"

2.66GHZ Core 2 Duo

4GB DDR3 1066MHZ Ram

320GB HD

SD card slot

7 Hour Battery (i have a 17" MBP and my battery regularly last 6hrs + )

Nvidia 9400m and 9600m graphics (latter is for gaming & graphics intensive apps other for normal use to increase battery life) Both have 256mb

That will wipe the floor with most windows laptops apart from High End designed for Gamers Laptops with big specs

My MBP wiped the floor with a £2800 Alienware

Do it. You will never look Back

Cheers Mater- been thinking about making the leap but not been sure about the games/ ms word(office applications)

Thats what BootCamp is for

It's a free program within Leopard.

Enables you to boot into windows (you require a windows disk and im currently using Windows 7)

You can also use VMware Fusion or Parallels however although you can play games they don't work aswell as they do in BootCamp

You can get Office for Mac aswell so can continue to use MS Docs.

I personally use iWork which has Pages (MS Word) Keynote (Powerpoint) Numbers (Excel)

I also have Office for Mac 2008 as Numbers i find isn't as good as Excel. Pages isnt quite as good as Word but adequate for my needs. Keynote on the other hand Wipes the floor with powerpoint.

You can save from iWork in MS formats quite easily and its about £50 cheaper
