Dear NYTA's,
I need y'all's help in picking out a laptop for college. I basically need something that's good for work (word processing, slideshow presentations, spreadsheets), gaming, audio/video (music, DVD's etc.) and has great customer service....and of course won't cost me my first-born child.
Please help me!!! Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
Patrick |

ibm thinkpad T series
T42 and up are really nice. they have pretty good customer support and they're like a rock as far as performance and sturdy. |

thinkpads are the most reliable and have the highest resale value..
If i had a choice i would wait 3 weeks until the new powerbooks are announced and pick up a g4 powerbook. OSX is by far a superior OS. Allthough a lot of people hate to admit it, just go to the chillout room and look at how many people try and imitate it. I personally run both machines but my windows machine is solely to run EQ2 and Counterstrike.. |

yeah, a gaming laptop gets a hell of a lot hotter, weights a lot more, and gets a lot shorter batterylife..
CHeap and gaming dont go well together... |

well i'm not looking for a computer that's optimized for gaming because of the ridiculous price tags but i don't want one that's built solely for work, you know?
fr0st: if i get OSX is it possible to put microsoft office on it becuase i need something that's microsoft compatible in case i need to rpit a document out on a school computer or something like that and they don't have macs. |

| office on OSX runs great.. And all documents created on a mac can be transfered to a pc running office. This includes powerpoint, excel,word etc.. Again if your thinking of getting a mac wait a few weeks till they blow out the powerbook g4's |
