Hardware - August 2006

Apple wants you to buy a mac because they are better then pc's!
But why when they are so expensive!

Why £1,300+ for a macbook pro when a pc laptop is a hell of a lot cheaper! Surely they are better but don't the price of macs put you off! i want 1 so bad but i'd rather spend my money elsewhere!

And we all know how quick apple like to upgrade! I'm a student for god dammit!

I can't decide which mac computer to buy but I need an apple for work and money doesn't really matter because my company is paying for it. My old computer broke because my boss broke it (details not important) so she is paying for a new one and I can't decide which one to get.

Choice A: imac which is a desktop and is white and is either 15 or 17 inches

Choice B: macbook a less expensive laptop that is 13 inches and is either black or white

Choice C: a more expensive laptop that is 15 or 17 inches and is silver

Please give thoughtful advice and I need advice

f you was to choose between the SONY VGN-AR11M at £1500 and the SONY VGN-AR11S at £2000 and the only difference is a extra 40gb on the hard drive, slightly better graphic card and the blu ray dvd recorder, is that really worth the extra £500

I have a new Dell Desktop PC, when I open my windows I don't need a sign in or password, you just get whatever web you want without having to sign in. My old PC always made me sign in before I could open my windows. I have tried everything tp get them to let me make a new sign and password. I can't use my old sign in or password because it bypassses all sign in window with microsoft.

I know that the Sprint PPc-6700 features Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5 operating system...but from personal experince I have found that Macs dont even recognize/ are not compatible with Windows files.... . So my question is, will I still be able to hook the phone up to my Mac and transfer files and data or is this option only available to people with PCs. People who own this phone or have personal experience with this phone/ products please help!!! I need to know before I purchase the phone. Thanks

My (x) friend got into the reg.edit program to "play" and my computer crashed. Now it says I must activate windows before I log on. Microsoft willl charge me 25 dollars for that service. Will it restore my computer? Dell told me to back up 21/2 years of research into someone elses computer then they can factory restore. Willl it restore if"CORRUPTED"? If not Dell is being very frivolous with my money and time.But asking someone if you can put your entire computer onto their computer is comperable to using a strangers toothbrush, or as sick and wrong as wearing your roommates dirty underwear! Help, computer was expensive, reasearch in computer, priceless!!! NO I DID NOT BACK ANYTHING UP, STILL NEW TO COMPUTERS, STILL STUPID
