I thought I would ping you guys for your personal or professional opinions on laptops. I figured the people on this forum are a bit more hip to this stuff than the mil or contractor boards.
I need one...asap. I don't need one of those indestructible powebooks or whatever they are called. I don't plan on throwing in a big pile of sand and shit. needs to have good battery life, powerful enough to play some movies/games/wifi/etc. although they may all have that capability now. the last time I purchased one was in 97...so I am totally out of the loop. I'm sure I could just go to bestbuy and get one, but when throwing down more than a grand the last thing i want is buyer's remorse...you know? I am not against getting a mac either. I have no platform loyalty...I just want to be sure that it's compatible with the formats used for gaming...because all work and no play makes jon a sad boy. help please. |

QUOTE (CANNONBALL @ Jun 8 2006, 03:26 PM) I really do appreciate you guy's input... I was wondering...can you play games on macs? I ask because I see where a game comes out and it's xbox, ps2, pc...but it never says macs. I'm an idiot. Yeah, there are plenty of games available on the Mac. The problem is getting your hands on them. Of course you could buy one of the new intel macs and run windows too. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM)  Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
