Yes but laptops are for portability. You aren't going to take your desktop with you on vacation or to school... or to work trips are you? Bring it to the hotel with you? no. If you're just going to be using the laptop at home on a desk 99% of the time, then yeah I agree.. build a desktop. But usually people who are looking for a laptop are looking for a laptop for a reason.

Check out Asus or Acer best budget laptops in my eyes. I still have my old Acer from 05 still works but slow as fuck! My lady just bought an Asus and we love it! You can have a PC running just as fast as a mac with half the money...

Like I said, it's been falling apart with regular use. I know it hasn't been treated rough because I'm the only one who uses it and I won't be buying another...its just a shitty laptop but I'm not going to continue arguing with you about something I know from personal experience.

I generally like most apple products except the iPhone. I've had my macbook for 5 years and it's still running like a horse. I know they're a big corporation and all but I don't see why they get all this hate.

I don't like their OS. The products are solid, but the OS makes them shitty.

It's simple, fast, and gets the job done. If you like customization I definitely understand why you wouldn't like apple. But as far as stability and efficiency goes, IOS is pretty good.
What do you not like about it?

For $1000 you can have 2 PCs that are just as fast which means you could get a more up to date laptop sooner.
90% +/-5% of apple users buy them for status symbol and hype...

Wait, so you're saying 2 $500 laptops would be just as good as a macbook?

ASUS is the tits Sturdy durable. runs like a champ. Just too bad They discontinued the eeepc line. I'm running an 8 year old eeepc 10 inch netbook and the only thing I;ve done is max out the memory and swaped for a bigger HDD. For your money IMHO the best deal you can get.

Yeah I understand if you really need the portability of a laptop just realize how much you sacrifice for that.

i'm not sure about laptops, but i know overstock has refurbished desktops for cheap. i'm thinking of picking one up for work and school stuff here in a couple of weeks. i would look there for any recommendations you get here.
i have a dell studio 1555 (i think). it's been a good laptop for me for the most part. but i wouldn't buy directly from dell again because they gauge you at every given chance for money.

I'm saying you can spend $500 and have the speed of a MacBook then upgrade a few years later to another $500 just as fast as the latest MacBook considering laptops are outdated when you buy them.
Vs. $1000 for one that does the same thing..

Yeah that's why I can't deal with iPhones. I love my HTC so much. I always root my phones and install different mods and ROMS, overclock, under clock, whatever. People that really think iPhone is awesome have no idea what phones are actually capable of doing.

See Now you are blurring lines between hardware and software. Any Laptop can be made to do what you want software wise. But hardware wise all laptops are not created equal. For example HPs are all prone to over heating Due to poor designyet on averge they cost about 35-40% more due to name rcognition. And OP stay away from Acer They are one of the most cheaply constructed brands I have ever worked on, hardware and component wise. The bodies are made from cheap brittle plastic which cracks if you look at it wrong.
