1. Don't buy a Mac
2. Extended warranties are a rip off, they offer no extra protection over the consumer guarantees act

You don't need a two gigs of ram and a duel core for going on the internet.
I'd tell you to get a desktop. You can get one for less then 500 and all you need is the screen. You don't need to spend 2 grand.

Also don't get a macbook.

You stop posting first.

It was a joke. I think.

I've built PCs for years and ASUS componentry product has to be some of the best gear out there. Someone may be getting confused with Acer.

Thanks JD...I saw that and I was thinking WTF?
Likewise I have a reasonable amount to do with computers both PC's and laptops and have always found ASUS to be very good.

ASUS motherboards and components are fairly common inside most popular big brands.

Thinking about it Acer PC's are the only ones I ever had issues with at work....

If you are not using itunes to actually burn you money on music, get something second hand that can run ubuntu. Power requirements are nil compared to win7 or vista, and you don't have to pay for software. Ever.
And these days ubuntu is simple to use enough to pass for "the newest version of windows" with old folks :-)

Oh, And if you do not want mobility. Do not get a laptop.. get a desktop PC. They can be repaired mostly with generic parts in the future. Laptops have custom sized components in them usally with the acception of hard disks and optical drives, making them expensive to repair.

Bing bing bing bing bing! Correct! Leyton speaks wisdom.
