i take it you like Dell?
i have a HP Pavilion dv 1000.. it's about.. 5 yrs old? and sometimes it works slow OR overheats itself lol .. if i have like 6 things running it freezes on me. i don't have any viruses bc i always scan it & i defrag when it needs it. idk what i did wrong :( |

i have an old ass dell that has screws falling out of it, but it still works perfectly, only had to replace the charger once
umm HPs are going to currently, and it comes to my attention that they are the same price as dells also |

| i always thought Toshiba or Acer was the top choice for laptops. Never had a Dell. |

i wouldn't look at dell laptops imo.
my buddy went through so many horror stories with them. and dell's end-user retail side = not so great. |

Toshiba is definitely good but they are more expensive, at least i think so
dont know about Acer but i do know that Asus, Lenovo beat Apple in US computer reliability rankings |

| you can get yourself a very good laptop with stable hardware less than $600 these days, online or at the store. In my opinion and experience, i wouldn't go for Dell or HP laptops. Toshibas and Acers are pretty good. If you can find yourself a Lenovo for a decent price, that's good too. People may diss Compaq computers, but I've bought at least a dozen Compaqs (desktop and laptop) in my lifetime, and have never had any type of hardware problems with them. |

| Seriously, you want security just go mac. I mean mac can do pretty much anything a PC can do but sleeker and nicer. I have an iphone and it can play movies. I don't know what the deal is with people who buy DVD/HDDVD/BluRay players. You have to go buy the disc, which is bigger than the iphone (that tells you how obsolete they are) and you have to manually insert it into the player. I'm not a manual laborer, I am an artist and I don't want to have to waste space on having a green-unfriendly post consumer waste Disc case plus the disc itself which I suspect isn't biodegradable and probably has carbs (I have a carbon footprint of 0 btw). I mean you get itunes and your iphone and you have your movies. Iphones do more for world peace and the environment than any ugly PC and obsolete technology. Al Gore has an Iphone and he won a nobel prize. |

1200-1300 for a 27" LED Monitor?
Black Friday had the Samsung LED 56" TV for 1599 - just sayin |
As someone else mentioned, you can't compare a TV vs. a computer monitor. I think that the Samsung runs 1920 x 1080 pixels whereas the 27'' Apple iMac screen runs 2560 by 1440 pixels. That is a difference of 1,612,800 pixels in favor of the Apple screen. So even though the Samsung is a 56'' the Apple with the 27'' will have 1,612,800 more pixels.
I need the screen realestate so that I can multi-task and run several apps at the same time. LG is the actual manufacturer of the IPS LED screen supposedly. Their 30" Widescreen HD LCD Computer Monitor runs about $1450. So a fair guess is that if the 27'' was sold by itself it would be in the $1200-1300 range. |

go core i7 /end thread. you have the specs lined out already so I assume you know what your doing. handle it. |
Not sure if you were talking to me or not. However the complete iMac is quite a bargain when you consider the price of the high quality monitor by itself along with the i7 CPU. I wish the GPU was more up to date, but the ATI 4850 should suit my needs. Since I edit photos and videos, a $400 monitor really wouldn't cut it as I need something with more pixels than a 1920x1080. Cool thing with the iMac is that it is all together (monitor + computer). |
