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.

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.

I'm not going to even give my opinion on laptops in general.
(High spec laptops I should say, I've got a crappy one that cost me like £30 that's good for work and porn)

I hate going over friends house when they play MMO's. MMO's are fun to play, not watch.

I hate going over friends house when they play MMO's. MMO's are fun to play, not watch. When I hang out with my friends, I usually hang out with more than one so there's always something going on, not just one dude playing MMOs.
Usually I get a movie going and start tokin up brosef.
I guess I just have groups of friends that I hang out with, it's hard being popular /hairflip
In regards to laptops I back HP all the way, just gotta do a fresh install when you get it though.

That was low.
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.
