Ok, I've been saving up for awhile to get a really good laptop because my current one is really old and lags heaps when I play Minecraft. Anyway, I want to get a high performing one that I can use for both gaming and doing work. Also stuff like having movies and music.
I have been considering two different laptops:
MacBook Pro
Alienware M14x
MacBook Pro:
Pros:
- Runs Apple
- Looks friendly
- Easy to use
- Long battery
- Has iTunes
- Can make iTunes apps
- Cheaper than Alienware
- Fast
- Long lifespan
Cons:
- Expensive
- Not all games run on Macs
- Have to buy the Mac version of games.
Alienware M14x:
Pros:
- Great for gaming
- Looks cool
- Flashing lights
- Really fast
- Runs really well
Cons:
- Runs windows
- Short battery life
- Loud
- Shorter lifespan
- Expensive

If you're not gonna be gaming much, MBP. Its great for doing work and managing your media, and has a few good games too.
Although, if you wanted to, you could dual boot OSX and Windows, or run it in a VM and get the best of both.
-
Wtf is wrong with Windows...
I think you should get a Gateway. Mine has served me well.

Apple is a gay piece of shit company, get a Alienware. Macs manage media better? How? Windows: 1. Make Folder 2. Copy and Paste 3. ??? 4. Done.

That can be done on any OS...

I agree that MBP are great and they run Apple which is good but gaming is one of the main reasons for getting a new laptop as my Dell Inspiron Mini can't run any games.
If I didn't want it for too much gaming then I'd defenatly get the Mac.

GET ALIENWARE IT IS THE BEST COMPUTER EVAR! 16 GB OF RAM WOOOo

You could dual lot lot a Mac, but office you want good performance for games, get a windows computer

So why do people pay twelve hundred dollars for a Mac? I was just at the mall and I saw a iPad case, a case that you can open like a notebook, a case that to the eye looks pretty cheap, then when I looked at the sticker BAM! a $99.99 price tag. Why? Because it's made for an iDevice? Look for a Nexus 7/10 case or a Asus or whatever and tell me how much it costs. Even the shitty iPod touch gel cases are $30 retail. I got a way nicer case for my phone that isn't even old for $10 on ebay.

A lot of companies use Macs. They're extremely user friendly, and do what you require of them. But for high end gaming, you'd need a powerful computer. Windows are best for gaming.

So you pay an extra $500 for a user friendly experience?

Windows PCs are very user friendly. The only problem is that they are not basic enough for 90% of the world to use. Thus the use for Macs
-
I prefer desktops over laptops, they are better at running games and are cheaper, mac's are bad at gaming and they can't do as much as a PC. Don't get Windows 8, it is probably worse than any other operating system out there.
This is just my opinion, but I think these are the pros and cons of some computer systems.

I think everyone got a mac coz of windows vista

No, they all stayed with XP

Windows is actually very easy to get used to, I've known how to use one since elementary school. The problem is that 90% of the world is stupid.
-
I've used windows for as long as I can remember, lol
-
Windows 8 is really only for tablets and laptop with touch. Other than that I wouldn't use it on anything else
-
I know, Jeddeth's Alienware came with Windows 8 and it's much harder to navigate compared with Windows 7 :(
-
Hmmm..... if mac is more user-friendly than pc and the less user-friendly, the more high-tech..... :3

I have both a MBP and a HP. They both serve 2 different purposes. Mac's do running gaming really smooth, but there isn't that much of a gaming selection. MBP is more for everyday use, like for work or school, with light gaming. On the other hand, my HP is a gaming powerhouse. I got mine at BB for 399$. It runs minecraft very smooth, and it has a huge gaming selection. You can use it for pretty much anything. If I was you I would go with this HP. I have the 15.6 In. Version of this Laptop. This is also known as a G7, while I have a G6.
