Hp Envy 14 Beats Edition for $1750
im looking for something that looks awesome, is thin and somewhat portable, can easily handle mild gaming, surfs the internet fast, has great sound quality, good for watching hd movies, has a decent screen res and has a backlit keyboard, the most im playing for a laptop is $2100. Do any of u know any laptops that have all those characterstics and are better than a mabook pro or envy 14? the only bad thing i can see with getting a envy 14 beats edition is that its screen resolution is crappy but it has beats audio so the audio would be better than a macbook pro. oh and which one would be faster at loading itunes and not being laggy with it? because othe computers ive used are really laggy when using itunes.Mac or pc??????????????????
they will both operate at almost the same quality. When buying a mac the extra price is for an operating system that is said to me more "simple" however it runs more efficiently which is why mac gets away with selling computers with less on the hardware end for much more. Personally i do very well with windows i would prefer the pc however it depends on your applications. For yours it sounds like you already know how to navigate windows well enough and if you decide you dont like windows you should look into something called hackintosh (putting mac OS on a pc) from what ive seen it rarely works and i havent seen anyone get it but if this is the route you take you can partition the hard drive and use half with mac half with windows here you get the best of both worlds, the affordability of pc and the os of the mac but when buying a mac you pay for the os in the long run i would go with a pc and no worries about the laggy i tunes if you plan on spending that much on a computer you wont have to worry about any laggy things unless you get ripped off. I would also stay away from hp they have something like a 30% failure rate within the first 3 years my suggestion for a laptop is sony viao that's what i am on right now and I love it and i payed 1000 for it also if you are interested in any custom desktop computers or would like anymore advice feel free to e mail me at jstanavich@nycap.rr.com good luck i hope i helped
The 15" MacBook Pro is the highest rated 15" laptop by Consumer Reports. You get the highest rated tech support, reliability and customer satisfaction. You also get a battery that last twice as long as the HP. You also get a laptop %26amp; operating system that has not had a virus written for it since 2006, versus over 1,000,000 for Windows.Mac or pc??????????????????
id get the pc since it has more and best features for a decent-gud- price. its quad core so its more powerful and smarter, has more RAM, and a larger hard drive storage. and got a very gud video card. so prefer u to get the pc-laptop.

Get this instead of the second one, better cooling and specs for a lower price. My buddy got it for college(he is majoring in computer engineering) and it is as he says "teh pwnage".
the 2nd one. It is faster, more memory, and cheaper.
Macs are usually a larger initial investment, but in the long run will always outperform any Windows box. Go with the Mac.
personally, I use macbook pro
i was running into the same situation as you. I got Macbook pro and I love it!
well pc's are betetr than laptops..
plus it got better processor and ram
mac
Have a look at an Dell’s Alienware M15x. For about $1800 you get a machine better than both you list, including Mobility HD 5850, 1920x1080 WLED, Slot-loading blu-ray reader, DVD/CD burner, 9-cell battery, Windows 7.
Marketed as “The Most Powerful 15" Gaming Laptop in the Universe”
I would suggest only 4GB memory since beyond that is overkill.
The performance and compatibility of a top-notch Windows PC, hardware and software, has no match in the Mac world.
Go configure it and decide.

You will get more power for your money with a pc. With mac, you're generally just paying for that apple logo on the front.
And that i7 in the pc will do all of that easily. That cpu can even handle pretty intense gaming. Honestly I think it's overkill. For what you're doing, the max price you should probably look for would be around $1000. Anything past that and you'll just be paying for power that you aren't going to use.
If you want to handle any sort of gaming at all, gets Windows. Unless you have a specific need for a Mac (which you don't), get Windows. You're effectively paying $500 for the Mac with the Apple Tax. If you want an operating system that is far more secure than Mac OS X or Windows, get Linux (Linux Mint is good for beginners).
ITunes is a piece of junk and a waste of system resources, and I would never allow it onto my computer, but yes, the HP will run iTunes fine.
