Betallsports · Jun 23, 2010

Of Course Bought a New one back in Sept 2009...Nothing really wrong with the One I have.....But they keep on getting Better.

Gave my old one to my Daughter, so I'm down to One. Would like to get a New one, and use this one as a Back-Up.

Anything Great out there ??

I'm still PO'ed that I missed out on computer that Best Buy had on sale for $500. Sold out in nothing flat and never got any new ones in stock. Had the Blue Ray DVD.

What Brand was it ??

The big thing about that deal a few months ago was the computer was labeled as a Core i3 and turned out to be a Core i7 or something like that. Huge processor upgrade.

As much time as you spend at the pool "flipper" best make sure it's water proof...lol

macbook pro, only way to go

Not into a Mac.....

I really like this Windows7 OS

Also, Macs still pick things up......Years ago they had no problems, because Hackers didn't care about Macs ( they were something like 8% users out of all PC's )
Now they they have grown, Apple is writing problems to stop Hackers......So Macs are Not Untouchable anymore.

MacProBook - you'll never go back

Was at the Apple store Friday night and the I-Pad looked pretty cool.

My brother bought one for my dad for fathers day but will take a couple weeks to arrive.

They had them all over the table for patrons to see and use but the only ones in stock were the top of line $900.

I have been into computers for a long time. My kids finally talked me into the macbook pro. I have to say I was skeptical about it. It is by far the best pc I have ever had. I have had about 20 PC's. You can run windows on the Mac if need it for certain programs. There is a program called parallels which you can run anywhere from XP to windows 7. A nice machine. It does take a little used to it. BOL with shopping for a pc

if you don't mind paying a premium, a Macbook Pro is the way to go. I've used PC's since I was very young, since before Windows 3.1 - but Mac OS X is great, it improves productivity so much, and the ability to run Windows (either via Parallels or Bootcamp) is awesome.
