Answer
I'd go with the cheapest one, unless having the larger screen is really important to you. I have a larger pro laptop and it's heavy. Spending $1000 more for a screen that is only a bit larger seems too costly. As the the difference in hard drive size, you can buy a portable terabyte external drive for about $100 and can use it for backups or extra storage as needed.

Which Laptop is better?

Ali

I want a laptop for University and general use (main computer), I would also like something that will be long lasting, so based on experience (not just specs) please tell me which laptop is better in your opinion. I am not a huge gamer, but I might put some arcade games on there and maybe some older grand theft auto games. I have worked with both mac's and pc's for years and I am comfortable with both. I want a powerful laptop that can be a desktop replacement but be portable for college. Please judge based on the provided specifications/ configurations since I have customized the laptops

Answer
Both are quality laptops but, I would suggest you to go for Hp dv6-t becauseâ¦
>It has a better graphics card & is too good for the price.
>More RAM i.e. 8 GB
>Size of hard drive is double of the Macbook
>High resolution 1920 x 1080
>Other specs like weight, optical drive, webcam, wifi, bluetooth, USB 3.0 ports, etc. are pretty much standard.

If you ask me about their durability, my vote goes to Macbook first. But if we look up the price dv6-t is offering a good deal because all these features with blue ray, 1080p display would cost you around $1200.

Answer
that is a nice laptop, but as you are in college, the battery life is most important thing for you, usually the biiger the screen is, the lesse its battery will run.. Dont listen to the guys keep telling i3 and i3 or even i7 cpu, that sandy bridge pentium is capble of anything you accept from a laptop.
I would say a bigger screen is'nt really a benifit in a laptop when it can make your battery short and carrying it hard.. Go thru your options again and find one with best battry life/price ratio.. Good luck! :)

Answer
I just got a new dell xps and it is great, you should look at the dell xps l502x its got:

2nd generation Intel Core i7-2630QM processor 2.00 GHz with Turbo Boost
2.0 up to 2.90 GHz

15.6" FHD B+RGLED True-Life (1920x1080) with 2.0 Mega Pixel Integrated Camera 720p HD video

6144MB (1x2048 + 1x4096) 1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel

Hard Drive : 750GB Serial ATA (7200RPM)

8x DVD+/-RW Optical Drive

Primary 9-cell 90W/HR LI-ION (I get about 6h just browsing and stuff but 6 cell you would get about 4h and you comp would look nicer as in not off the desk but for gaming being off the desk is an advantage)

2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M Graphics card

Intel Centrino Wireless-N 1000

2x USB 3.0, 1x USB/CHARGING 2.0

1x hdmi 1.4 FOR 3D

1x Microphone Jack and 2x Headphone jack Audio ports (yes 2 ports for 2 ppl 2 listen)

1x Gigabit LAN

Internal Backlit UK/Irish Qwerty Keyboard

English Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium (64 BIT)

McAfee SecurityCenter 15 Month Subscription

4Yr In-Home Warranty Support, including evenings and Saturdays

1 year of Collect & Return 10 day coverage included with your PC

It cost me £1050 or $1700, I was looking at hp's and stuff and they where like £1800 way way more expensive

I suggest that you give dell a call, on the phone they give you discounts and stuff if you ask. I also must state the jbl speakers and subwoofer are a dream for when playing games and stuff and the screen is awsome (the bightness is best set to 50% hurts your eyes it really is bright). Oh and its made from alliminium which looks brill but is fantastic because its not a fingerprint magnet.

Oh and I can run call of duty bo at high settings, batman aa at very high settings, command and conquer 4 at very high. Most games can run a max settings some you have to turn off say one feature from max to very high then the game is smooth. Its a really good laptop XD. Also dont forget this is at 1080p not 720p which most new laptops have nowdays.

The touchpad is also massive and very nice to use and has seperate right and left click buttons (i know some dont) which are nice to use.

Also the laptop is portable, i use it for taking to uni and things.

I have a macbook from 2006. It no longer gets updates, and I am starting to need something better. I want another mac, but do not want to buy something over $1400 including a mac protection plan. I am not sure whether or not I want a notebook or desktop. I only really want to do word processing and check my email and go on the internet. Please help! Oh, and if it helps i also have an iPad 1.

Answer
An iMac desktop is the best option for you and the usage you described. Since you have a portable (your iPad), you don't need to invest in a laptop. iCloud will allow you to keep both devices synced easily. With a desktop computer you'll be getting the most processing speed, memory, and storage space for your money (as opposed to buying a Macbook Air). I would also recommend that you wait to purchase your new computer. The last release of the iMac was on May 3, 2011. Seeing as the iMac usually upgrades around every nine months, the new iMac should be coming out very, very soon.

Here are the specifications of the iMac.

21.5-inch iMac for $1,199
2.5GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
1920 x 1080 resolution
4GB (two 2GB) memory
500GB hard drive
AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 512MB

+

AppleCare Protection Plan for $169

The best thing to do is go into an Apple store and talk to a specialist to get a final opinion. Make sure to mention to them that you have a portable device already.

Hope this helps!
