99GPGTX Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 My current laptop has a major problem, the hinges dont really work at all lol I can open and close it but the screen, for example, cant stand on its own past 90 degrees and forward. it will just shut itself. Iv try to repair it but super clue cracked back apart. Its a Dell Inspiron 1520, im looking at the XPS 15, but also thinking about a mac?? really i just browse, download a shit ton of music, i have lots of movies, havent done much video editing or anything like that but might like to get into some music mixing/Djing. Suggestions?

Lbox88 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 (edited) Newegg.com can get a pretty decent laptop for pretty damn cheap. Don't know how you feel about brands or price but here is some examples. http://www.newegg.co...N82E16834158010 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16834215039 http://www.newegg.co...N82E16834215237 EDIT: What kind of specs are you looking for? What is your price range? Screen: ? HDD: ? Processor Speed: ? OS: ? I bought my LG 47" LCD from them and they shipped it to me via Semi and I had that bish in less than 2 weeks. $1500 TV for $800 at the time. Not too shabby in my books. Don't know of any of my buddies having a problem with them and one orders stuff from them weekly because he re/builds computers on the side for extra $$$.

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I'm a Mac guy, but I wanted/needed a PC for some other things (to run the CAD and CAM software remotely and not just on the who PC). So just a few months ago I bought a Toshiba and it's been insanely awesome, couldn't be happier. Getting 10+ hours of battery life from it too. Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me!

Second Skin Rep Jon Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 Yeah if you don't NEED a PC for a specific purpose, I'd go with a Mac. My bother went with a 15" MacBook Pro and it's awesome, best screen I've seen on a laptop ever. Like having desktop power in your lap. lol BTW, the Toshiba I went with was this one, came with a ton of extras too and very little bloatware. Quote Have a question about Second Skin? E-Mail me!
