I'll just bring some over. No way, I could last a while without my Vegemite.

Our marmite factory got demolished in an earthquake stopping production. The whole country went into meltdown. Marmite was selling for hundreds of dollars online!

What people do when they have a craving.

Btw, where's Konohasorangeflash?

Here is my dilmma. I'm an IT student so I do a lot scripting and whatnot and software development/engineering is probably my aim as a tecnhical field. I have a high end desktop PC at my home and it is more than powerful enough to play most video games on max settings, etc. However, I can't lugg that thing around with me at the University, so I need to buy a laptop. I am wondering what is better for my needs? Mac or Windows? I am very interested in buying a Mac because it looks much easier to do basic scripting and word documents on. What should I aim for?

Spike, buying a macbook was the best thing I ever did after years of windows. Period. No debate. I find he 17 inch way to big though. For uni .... Why not go for the 13 inch and go for 8 gig ram and an solid state drive. That thing is lightning fast, my collegue has one and .... Wow! Processor to chose according our budget id say...

Doesn't SSD deteriorate at higher rate than HDD? I want one with an i7 but it's an extra $300.

Is the SSD an extra component? Or do they replace the standard 500GB HDD?

$1700 :cry: with 8GB and a 128GB SDD...I have the money but that is steeeeep.

No idea about the deterioration. Never heard of it - but ive seen what it does to improve speed. Wow. Also, it replaces your hdd.

Its a lot .... But! I have mine for more then three year now and it STILL kicks ass. Never, ever failed. And I used it intensively, daily!

Still boots from scratch to online around 30 secs now and shuts down in a blink. When in sleep, you simply open the fucker and three seconds later you are online. Amazing. Also, battery still lats me more then five hours (use to be more hen seven) after these years.

If you have the cash ..... I would do it.

Macs are great, they really are. However, they are highly overpriced, way too much!

Apple doesnt use SSD, it is a flash based drive. It is the same concept, but a different thing overall. It is like McDonalds and BurgerKing (loool, super shit comparison). Also, they are super shit for games, only a very few games work on Mac OS X.

Jake, I would go with a Maingear instead....

Their SSD are far too expensive for me. An extra 120 for only a 128GB!

You see I don't want it to have games on it that's why in considering buying one! My ûber PC is games. The website says Solid State Drive, haha.

OOOH, you will keep your desktop? So go for a Mac, definetly!

Rumours that the new Macbook Air will be released in a couple of months. Apple products usually launch at the same prices as their predecessor, so no worry about the cost. Since you will basically only use "Gedit" to program (I am guessing), it will be enough. However, if you want to go crazy, Mac Pro Reitna Display is fucking awesome (my buddy has it and it is absolutely amazing). You will overpay because Apple = Expensive, but they are indeed good.

Yeah, they can say it is, but it isnt. Pratically they are the same, but they arent. :lol:

EDIT: I checked, Stingray is right!

It is solid state - flash drives are in the macbook air. Also use bootcamp if you wanna game on a windows platform.

I know its expensive .... Go 15 inch hdd i7 instead :-) i would max the ram though.

@Rmpr, @Stingray,

Do I want Keynote, Pages, and Numbers?

This is what I'm thinking for 1600.

13-inch: 2.9GHz



  • 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i7

  • Turbo Boost up to 3.6GHz

  • 8GB 1600MHz memory

  • 750GB 5400-rpm hard drive1

  • Intel HD Graphics 4000

  • Built-in battery (7 hours)2

The i7 is too delicious to turn down.
