might wana think about getting a laptop with thunderbolt since that's the future and all audio interfaces tend to be going that direction... so razer or macbook would be killer..

if you go pc make sure you get this,,

https://bitsum.com/parkcontrol/ -- it's called park control

by default windows parks alot of your cores so to get them to all run and have it run at optimum speed..you unpark all of them with this... it's free.. also make sure you select all processors in msconfig >boot>advanced lot's of people hate on windows because they don't realize this and there only using like 2 out of 4, 6 or 8 processors and cant understand why there pc is running at shit speed

It's not necessarily the best but newest gen i7 are the best processors to get but try to get one that is 6 or 8 core..actually apple rips people off with overpriced parts.. but I can understand the appeal

I kinda want to switch to a Mac when I can spare the money. My Thinkpad is extremely heavy. I used to use Macs a lot in the 90s but haven't used OSX-era ones too much.




What do you think about the abandoning of optical drives?

Everything is going thin/lighter.

I never minded my laptop having some girth; some of these new light ones seem a little too thin.




I think my laptop is something like 6 lbs, so it gets pretty hefty to haul around.

I don't find I use an optical drive very often at all. Last time I tried to buy CD-Rs to burn for the car, the people at the store told me they don't even carry them any more. My laptop came with a DVDRW drive but I swapped it out for this adapter caddy that lets you put in another 2.5" hard drive.

My last computer before this was a cheap netbook, so I was already used to not having an internal optical drive. I think the external one I got for that was $30 or so.

Man, this thread got me researching laptops. 

I really like my macbook pro, but I sorta want something windows based and not a million dollars

So I checked out the ASUS ZENBOOK UX501VW-DS71T 15.6" 4K.  It seems pretty fucking good at a grand less than a MBP.  But people say the trackpad and build quality aren't as good.  Also the keyboard has mixed reviews.  Those are the things that are important to me.  And it's touch screen which my wife wants for some reason.  I'm not excited about her rubbing her dirty fingers all over the beautiful display, which is one of the perks of this machine.  The specs are really pretty comparable to a MBP.

I also checked out the Dell XPS 15, but there are SO many bad reviews about crappy build.  But the ones that work seem good.  I shy away from laptops that break though, I been through that.

I like mac.  You can run mac and windows on the same computer

Don't get a mac if you are into hardcore gaming, but anything else is great.

I bought a mac pro retina and I love it.  looks nice, feels nice, runs flawlessly (even with ps2 emulators) and is just an over-all great experience. 

I grew up with p.c.  but since I bought this mac I use a computer more than ever.  Even started to get into programming.

Edit:  To add, I can do pretty much everything p.c. related on this mac.  I switch over to the windows partition and use torrents and all kinds of other shit that is window's related.

I'm torn in half with you Mac'ers.

The Toshiba Tecra A40 has an optical drive and can be customized with 16gb ram, an i7 processor, and a 512 gig solid state drive...

Hmmmm..

I'm still digging.

Thanks to everyone!

Just spent some time reading up on the Razer and I think I am sold; I'll just get my old Toshiba fixed and keep it for burning CDs and other old school stuff.

How the hell did I not find the Razer with all the searching I've been doing?!

:murray:
