| hmm, I got some computer experience under my belt. From those I would have to go with the Toshiba. However, when you are buying a computer "better choice" is a relative term, tell me what you want to use it for and what apps you are going to put in it, then I can give you a more definitive answer. |

Blog Entries: 4  | My friend likes Eurocom and Dell XPS. Personally I say, if you have the money, go for Falcon NW, Voodoo, and Alienware. and this goes for ALL computers, laptops or desktops. but not Mac's... well if you can call them computers anyway those pieces of junk (lmfao j/k)

| apple without a doubt - especially now they have intel chips. a mac is far far more reliable than anything else - just remember that when you delete something, that's it gone for good, no retrieving items from the recycle bin

Blog Entries: 4 | Unless you have me and my friends. We can rip the hard drive out, run a few apps and scripts and retrieve a file. as long as that part of the disk hasn't been written over. From your list: Take the sony, they have a cool logo. And can you send me the specs for all of them? (or are you getting them customed?)

Blog Entries: 1 | I would say Apple everytime, Apple isnt effected by any virus's either which makes for safe internet (though this may not always remain the case). If your looking to play games then your probably better going for a PC, but Apple are made from the best components and are a lot more reliable in my experience.

Blog Entries: 4 | I'll put it right here and now: Casual use, not much of a tecchie, dont look to upgrade in future or do serious gaming, hten go for a mac. It's got all of the free features and flashy colorfull animations you'll ever need. Else, get a PC with windows. and if you are REALLY a tecchie, go for linux

Blog Entries: 4 | @ Cirative: yep i'm biased on apple issues too. except iPods. iPods are AWESOME. but so are the Zunes. iPhone sucks. Period. End of story. You're also right about compaq/hp Toshibas: Dont get their laptops. you'll run into not only hardware problems with their actual stuff, but software problems too (with all the extra crap they give you) and often times problems with screen, dvd drive and batteries. (from my experience and friends experiences)

I hate iPods. Earlier this month they discovered iPods are toxic, which I find hilarious. They contain 15x the deadly amount of phthalates and bromides within the iPods and earphones. Apple promises to re-release all of their products without the chemicals in 2008.
