    Re: Buying a computer

    I've used many different kinds of laptops and they're all fragile: virtually all small electronics are.

      Re: Buying a computer

      I would also need a computer that I wouldn't have to hook a modem up to. I want one that I could plug a card into or it has a card built in.

        aside from that, heat exposure (i live in las vegas) kills battery life and wears the battery down over time. So you might expose the thing to fire or even spring heat but the battery won't survive long.

          I'm using a MacBook right now and for your information, when you record sound and video, the quality isn't that great =/.

            ahh, if you're directly going to connect to the internet and it's not wireless, you're going to have to hook your computer up to a modem reguardless...

            the laptops that have a card in them have a wireless card which operates with wireless networks, which require an internet connection, modem, and wireless router anyways.

              I'd imagine, though unless you buy a $100 mic you're really not going to get great sound no matter what you do. :P

                Re: Buying a computer

                First, dont double post.

                Second, HDD's are MASS produced. Like everything there are flaws.
                Thats just like saying "Oh No, My PSP has a dead pixel, all PSP's SUCK and all small handhelds suck".

                Dude, I've droped my IBM thinkpad down the stairs, off a table, picked it up by its screen, my moms thrown it on the ground, and it still works perfect.

                I dont really care if you can build a desktop that I "cant" immagine.
                Heh, immagine this, MDG desktop with two 1TB HDD's. Yea thats right, 2000GB, with dual 512 Nvidia SLR Graphics card, 2GB RAM, DVD-RW drive, Widescreen 30 INCH monitor, and 70inch projector.

                Yea, thats my desktop, I dont use it as much as my laptop. This laptop is for school and for FFR, while my desktop is for games and FFR.

                The kid wants a laptop, and he wants it for school. Telling him a desktop is better, isnt going to make him go buy a desktop, and bring it to school everyday.

                And also, most laptop batteries last awhile :S. I havnt charged my laptop in, like 4 days.

                  Re: Buying a computer

                  also if the laptop you are interested in runs off of anything but squirrels and mice, your battery will last you no more than 5 hours or so... and that's just playing music, not even games. Unless you want to spend more money on additional batteries... lithium ion batteries... which deteriorate over time... so you have to spend more money...

                  until you realize, crap, my laptop doesn't even have the system specs for the new operating system! i've gotta buy another one.

                    Re: Buying a computer

                    Recording sound and video isn't on the top of my to-do list, so I'm not really worried about it.

                    What do you mean I'll have to have a router? I have a friend who has a wireless card with his laptop and he has no modem.

                    You called me kid v.v

                      Most of the time, people have a plugin near by, to plug their laptops into.

                        Re: Buying a computer

                        you have a raid array with 2 500gb's? or do you really have 1tb hard drives? which means you spent over $2,000 on hard drives for your pc?

                        i've had many, many laptops i've dealt with extensively, and a battery that works for days? dream on.

                          I said 2000 not 1000 .

                          I got both free with the desktop, one came with it, and one was "free" since MDG had a deal/sale.

                            You can have four hard drives, so that means four 500gb's on a raid array= a sort of equivalent of 2 1tb's.

                            And ah... you got $2400 (before tax) worth... completely FREE??

                            EDIT: i suppose the prices have dropped a huge amount... i didn't think that 1tb's were widely available... and from my searches, it doesn't seem so.

                              Battery is pretty much always going to be plugged in except for travel, etc. Battery is not an issue. Any other ideas?
