So, I'm thinking about getting a laptop (finally). I've toyed around with the idea of just buying a cheapo laptop from one of my friends that have more than they know what to do with, but I'm thinking now that I actually want a decent one. What I'm not sure on is whether I want to get a mid-level laptop and still majorly upgrade my desktop in a few months or whether I should switch to using a laptop as my primary computer and thus spring for a higher end model.
So I guess my question is two-fold... 1) If you have both a personal laptop and desktop, which do you use as your primary comp and why? 2) What do y'all suggest as far as makes/models are concerned? -------------------- |

i think your most important thing in any laptop you buy is the warranty. make sure you get a long ass warranty that covers everything

And get it from the manufacturer, not the retailer. For example, AppleCare on my macbook covers the computer, software, and any apple peripherals. And it costs the same as the plan you can buy from CompUSA for 2 years that only covers hardware (it's worth noting that CompUSA's plan does cover accidental damage to the screen unlike AppleCare though). -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
