I give up

[next_to_normal]

I have hated my computer pretty much since I got it, but I refused to get a new one because I was determined to get my money's worth. Well, it's been two and a half years, and I frickin' give up. The battery's just died, so I'd have to replace that anyway, it's unbearably slow, it crashes three times a day, and now IT WON'T STOP BEEPING AT ME.

Oh well. It's only money, right? :\

So, oh wise flist, what computer should I buy, and why?

(And if anyone says Dell, I will personally skewer you with a pencil.)

Mac all the way. I will never buy a PC/laptop again. The cost is worth it in myriad ways. I have a 3.5-year-old macbook and a 6-month-old imac. Both are excellent darlings of excellence.

Hee! I did love my Mac, way back when. But that computer was also FREE. I just went to the Apple site, and the cheapest model with my specs was $1200. And then I cried a little bit.

But lemme tell you, one more strike and I will be off PCs forever.

Lemme tell ya, I firmly believe you have to spend money on your couch, your bed, and your computer. Anything else can be scrimped. But when it comes to the comfort of your bum, back and the reliability of your second brain... invest invest invest.

I'm sorry you cried with the moneez - :( The world of Mac is a daunting one. I choose to believe there IS NO other computer but Mac. Therefore, the cost can't be compared to anything else. :) It just is what it is.

Haha! I think I'm going to try the Sony Vaio, which I've heard good things about - even from Mac people - and it's about $300 cheaper. (Actually, probably more like $450, because I'd have to buy Office again for Mac, but I already have it for PC.) But if it turns out badly, I will gracefully accept the I told you so. :)
