I know I'm a punk. I know it. Thanks for sticking around, those of you who have, you know, stuck around.

A poll! Because they're generally met with clicky glee. I want to buy a laptop. Not a desktop replacement, but something nice and portable that I can use to write papers on and/or play the occasional game (Sims, anyone?). Testimonials and/or words of warning much appreciated. I'm curious as to what brands you guys would rec.


[Poll #963977]


The Wii Internet thing...what's up with that? I sent [livejournal.com profile] klaw a message, and it seems he's the only one who I can "hit up", so to speak. I'm underwhelmed.

I'm speaking from desktop and laptop experience here. My old desktop was a Dell. It was a beautiful thing. I regret not sticking with the brand for my laptop.

I have a HP laptop, and I would advise for you to stay far away from that if possible. My shitty computer has put me through so much hell in these past 10 months I've had it. Matter of fact, I was having problems with it today. My hard drive busted after 9 months. So definitely avoid HP.

Dell is my biggest recommendation. (: Happy Laptop Hunting!

I know Dells are pretty well-known for their PCs, but not for their laptops. To be honest, the only reason Dell made it on the poll was because all the damned silent marketing on SG:A got to me. Every laptop on that show is quite obviously a Dell. Who'da thunk that crap would be an effective selling agent? :)

Aha, kinda like the silent marketing for Apple that Queer as Folk did? ;)

See, that? I didn't notice. But what I DID notice on QAF? Sam Adams. It was the first beer I purchased once I turned 21. Thanks, QAF! :)

If only the show were still airing new episodes...you could have approached the execs with an ad campaign! I could so see that as a commercial. ;)
