Desktop

So yesterday my desktop also decided to pretty much die, it keeps freezing on me. So the need for a replacement laptop/desktop is getting higher.

What to do, what to do. Buying a cheap-ish laptop is harder than one might think. I want one that can only just run adobe master collection, so I can do whatever I want on the go. But for gaming I wish to use my future desktop. But buying a laptop that fits my needs is kind of hard. I quickly go from well I don’t really need a dual core from oh why not which results in a laptop atleast 800 bucks. Personally I’m thinking somewhere down the 600 bucks road, but finding a laptop from a realiable company in that range is pretty hard. It’s pretty much controlled by Acer which, as I know from first hand experience, has pretty shitty customer service. Another company that sells midrange laptops is Toshiba which, as far as I know, is pretty awesome. One thing bothers me though, they usually come with only 1 or 2 years of warranty, which as my dead laptop shows might be too short. Also something I’d like is it running Mac x86. Which is also extremely hard on that range. Dell usually has that support but that is usually more expensive.
