    Desktop replacement laptops have a place. I used mine for school. I needed something that had a lot of muscle for doing programing/designing/graphics type stuff, but I also wanted something that I could play games on. (I had 3 hours of downtime between classes for a year, and I had an hour...

    Heh, I have a 2.8ghz P4 notebook. It's almost 2.5yrs old, but it works great. Except it doesn't really like not being plugged in. I bought it so I would have a portable desktop, not a travel companion. I think new it would get ~1hr on battery playing a DVD. The thing litterally has a...

    Looking at the Mac Mini vs the iMac Core Duo (The 17in one), do you think it would be better or worse to go for one rather than the other? I was thinking I'd get the Mac mini cause it's significantly cheaper. But my fear is that if I get the cheaper/less capable one that I wont really use it...

    Yeah, but to get anything even close to a PC graphics on a console and you have to spend a few k on your TV alone. And I don't know about you, but my roomates wouldn't like it if I hogged the TV all the time playing games. (I personally don't watch much TV, so I don't even have a decent TV of...

    I have a 3 year old PC that still runs pretty much every new release game (My secondary PC). I didn't spend $3000 on my PC, I spend max ~500 a year on it to upgrade parts. My PC is better than an XBox 360. It will always be better than an XBox 360. And even if I have to run with my settings...

    Very true. Thats the main reason I'm here. I know that there is nothing I can say to get them not to use Macs, so I must cope. I must learn at least enough so that I can help them with the basic issues they may be having.

    XBOX 360? Hah. If you had ever played a FPS game on a PC and XBox, you would realize how silly that suggestion sounds. Furthermore, I love how Microsoft was raving about the incredible graphics on the XBox 360 with their HD 1024i games. I've been using games at resolution that would put that...

    Wont even consider switching my main PC till a few things happen. 1) 99% of games are written for Macs/Both. 2) I can build/upgrade a Mac as easily as a PC. 3) Apple opens up computer/hardware to other companies who want to make Mac systems.

    A lot of the stuff that I want to learn aren't even the real complicated stuff. A good example is, we had someone call up a few days ago and they needed to setup a printer on their Mac. All of our printers are networked. Something simple like that shouldn't be hard to do, but since I've...

    I've used nothing but PC's for my entire life. From a young age I was fascianted with fixing PC's and I shortly learned all the ins and outs of Windows. I have mastered just about every aspect of the PC world, and I use that information in my job. I work for a fairly large company in their IS...
