My problem is having to rebuy all of my software for Mac's.
Which brings me to MY question, anyone know of a good laptop deal that I could get for 1 grand and under?
. I'm not looking for "OMGHARDCORE GAMIN`11@!" just something that can run Photoshop and Roller Coaster Tycoon 3.

Or just buy Parallels for $80 and run windows on your Mac.

Okay Connor, here's George's suggestions for you.
Go with Dell and ask for:
- Minimum 60 Gig Hard-drive
- Minimum 1 Gig Ram
- ATI Radeon Video Card or equivalent
- Double-sided DVD burner and reader
- Intel Pentium 4D dual core HT
- Firewire
- USB Ports
- Built-in wirless capabilities
- 15 1/2 in. screen
- Ethernet networking capabilities
- Windows XP Home Edition
He said you should come well within your budget.
Just his suggestions. Weigh them along with everyone elses.

Check out the deals/coupons at this site for Dell laptops. I wound up getting over $900 off my laptop with all the rebates. And they usually ship it for free too.

Bolded are Cuneiform to me. :lookaroun
(Although I know the desktop's broadband uses an Ethernet cable. Do I get points for that?)

Don't ask me. . .
I know nothing.
If you want at some point to talk to George about it, I can arrange that.
I know you know, but what don't I? :lookaroun
I may take you up on that...Dot said:

Just let me know.
He can be very helpful, and he does know computers.
Don't ask me; I thought you knew. :lookaroun
I think I will... can you send me his email?Dot said:
And warn him that he will be contacted. :lookaroun

You don't want HP or Compaq, they're not good for laptops (or desktops for that matter).
I just opened my brand new Toshiba last night and am VERY pleased with it. As stated earlier, Office Depot has great deals going on them right now as well, you can't beat it!

Yeah, HPs aren't good for anything. I have a desktop right now and it SUCKS.
They do make excellent punching bags, though.
As long as you unplug it first. :lookaroun

Speaking from experience?
No. :lookaroun
