What would you recommend for a good laptop computer? I'm looking to buy one, but don't know what to get. I don't need anything crazy gaming-powerful (I have a desktop rig for that), but I don't want a P.O.S. either. I'm thinking a MacBook would be nice, but Dell has good value, too.
Thoughts? Suggestions? |

Yep, that's the plan. I am gonna wait a month or two and go back to an Apple Store and buy the Applecare since I can buy it anytime within the first year.

I think Apple requires Best Buy to sell you AppleCare if they carry their computers. Don't be surprised if they try to talk you out of it though. -------------------- QUOTE (Spectatrix @ Oct 13 2006, 09:51 PM) Holy shit, pebkac, you're awesome!
