Daggers Posted 1 February 2009 Posted 1 February 2009 The laptop is gone. It was a trooper of laptops, it cost a mint but four years ago and now it is wheezing like an asthmatic. I am now in need of something new, something strong and sexy. A proper beast of a desktop - do I go for an iMac? Do I? Do I really dare? Ooooh, I feel so naughty.
Finnegan Posted 1 February 2009 Posted 1 February 2009 You paying? Alex said he would to apologise for getting you into trouble.

It woud sync with your phone so well. You could get Leopard and a Time Capsule. It would even look great. I think you know what you're going to do. Convert.
Daggers Posted 1 February 2009 Author Posted 1 February 2009 I'm struggling to justify the extra cost of something that isn't twice as good as a PC. I can see me going for a dual-boot, quad-core behemoth.
JoeyB Posted 1 February 2009 Posted 1 February 2009 Daggers i have the machine for you. I think it looks a bit like Darthvader. I'll find a link + Pic. Edit: Link

Edit: Link The one I have/had cost me sixteen hundred but I'm not going to splash that out again, I don't reckon machines have improved enough to justify it and I don't use them to play games on anymore. Graphics and music is about the limit...reckoning I can pick up something reasonably cheaply and use the difference to get myself a project Cooper 1.3i
coale39 Posted 1 February 2009 Posted 1 February 2009 This would be seriously quick and would look good. Not bad for under a grand.

Legend_in_blue Posted 2 February 2009 Posted 2 February 2009 Get a Dell. Got an Inspiron 1720 this time last year and got a geforce 8600GT inside it. Go for the maximum amount of RAM and it runs Bioshock and Mass Effect no problem. It cost £600. The XPS is meant to be a gaming laptop but why bother when this one does those no problem?
DB11 Posted 2 February 2009 Posted 2 February 2009 Laptop and gaming don't really go well together...
Daggers Posted 3 February 2009 Author Posted 3 February 2009 I can't seem to get past the 17" Macbook Pro. It just seems too sexy. What a ridiculous amount of money. But *gosh* it's a bit sexy. Damn you Steve Jobs! Damn you to hell!

Damn you Steve Jobs! Damn you to hell! I've got the little brother - the 15" version from last year (all-aluminum). Tastiest modern technological instrument I've ever bought. Tempted to buy a Mac Pro at some point - £££, however... Daggers, you know you want it. You also want to want no more crashes and viruses hampering your online experience... You know you want it.

Damn you Steve Jobs! Damn you to hell! How much we talking?? I've got a spare RMNimbus in the garage just collecting dust.....
OriginalRobboFOX Posted 3 February 2009 Posted 3 February 2009 Is that a 1, 2, 3 or 486? 186 according to the google image I robbed it from Gem of a computer, I remember when they phased out the BBC's at our schools and relaced it with the space age like technology called the Nimbus....

That's brilliant - it has both horizontal and vertical adjustment.

Daggers Posted 5 February 2009 Author Posted 5 February 2009 £1700 though, eh?! I keep thinking what I could buy instead of one.
