what about getting puerto rican girls to strip on webcam, you can do that on laptop.

My bait is better than your bait because my bait is faster for what I use my bait for compared to your bait which sucks because you need to type 1000000 words for your bait to work.

I'm so coming on Skype tomorrow when I feel less dead to the world.

It's not the destination but the journey.
if I say things that don't sound serious you usually have to take into the account that i'm not really all that serious :/

Told everyone Flion. They are looking forward to it.
Still think Darki should get on with us today though. Especially since you have not been on with us in 3 days or something Failonheart.
You love me really, and my overly blunt/sarcastic ways.

Can not use the cam in a group call anyway.
I'll have to get in one of those sessions one day.
I have many different personas I like to use on the internet, but me talking is just mellow egotism in it's pure form...or is it?
I don't really like to say I'm any specific way, angry sad bla bla because I'm always changing.

Quetzalcoatl.Sketchzter said: This laptop looks like a pretty good alternative to getting a Mac. Pretty expensive, but if you're aiming for a Mac, it really shouldn't matter. Thankyou Yokhai and Sketchzter, giving me a better idea what to look for and compare to Mac (which unless people shove me infront of laptops ill probly end up with). That sony does indeed look very good in pretty much all areas and it looks like ffxiv would be a dream on it. If i can get some sort of student discount or maybe a cheaper version, it is a big contender.
Ramuh.Vinvv said: Pandemonium.Spicyryan said: I am on my Sony laptop.
It is more exspensive because of the stupid name, but I love this laptop so much.
Anyway, heading home. Sony is overpriced garbage when it comes to laptops too. Please show me what isnt then? D: any sort of link or suggestion goes a long way on a simple minded numb nut like me who doesnt know alot about computers.

i have the dv6000 which is poopy in todays standards.
what are you looking to spend?
also if you want to clarify the size of what you are interested in that would narrow it down more.

Asus is nice, I do have to agree but I think establishing a price range would be more effective, I dunno if it was already mentioned in this thread or not what he was looking for. Only skimmed as it started going.
actually ***, this thread just turned into a PC vs Mac war for the most part and none of this was really covered lol.

actually ***, this thread just turned into a PC vs Mac war for the most part and none of this was really covered lol. I shall check Asus out.
Price range is <£1000 really (which wow comes to almost 1600 USD) but also im hoping i can get student discount on it, so i might be able to go above if so. generally i wanna spend like £800/900 after discount.
As for size, i dont want it too big probly 15" or so maybe even smaller if neccassery.
Edit: since i'll be taking it home on the train every couple of weeks and already taking a rucksack so probly cant put it onmy back
I started uni earlier this september doing "Computer games development" Bsc.
Our tutor pointed out the huge student discount we get on macs etc and said preferably you should buy a good laptop to do your work on. Obviously we arent expected to but for various reasons i am after a laptop and may as well make it relevant to my course.
The problem is i know nothing about Macs and dont know whether to spend alot of money on one or get something else probably cheaper with just as good specs. Bare in mind i get 15% (stated) off Macs (although ive heard i get alot more off).
So what would you guys suggest, i guess ill be using various software on it for my course and i recall my tutor saying it should have 4gb of ram and 20gb hardrive.
Is there anything im missing with macs? I can get all microsoft stuff on it if i like, such as office or msn with no problems? And what are the main plus points of macs?
Thanks in advance.
