jonathan7 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hey all - I'm about to embark on a missionary training year, which will involve travelling a bit (firstly to India, and currently a destination unknown for 6 months). As such I don't really want to be lugging my massive Rock gaming laptop everywhere, so was considering purchasing a much smaller portable one. I was considering maybe an old Mac - I have around £300 ($450) to spend - if anyone has any bright ideas or suggestions, I would be eager to hear them. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommycat Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 HP has some decent laptops out there. If you go to a pawn shop you might find a laptop that has good power and a reasonable price. Mac's are good, but generally more expensive. Of course that all depends on what you need... But for cheap reasonably priced and semidecent support, HP is good all around.

Thanks in advance If you don't mind a not so awesome processor, the MAcBook Air may be a good choice.. Very small and light, easy to carry around.. But they're not really cheap..

El Sitherino Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 ya good point you can install ubanto from a usb drive nowadays Plus everything can be put on a server, including pornography if that's what you want. Jon, I'd go with an asus or acer laptop. They're good, they're cheap, and they can be upgraded anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Fett Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 ^If he's on the move, most likely he'll have a laptop bag which the drive can go . Besides, if he doesn't need the SuperDrive, he can just leave it at home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I mean why the **** do that, you can put a cd on a flash drive if you need it. Hell you can put 3-4 cd's on some decently priced flash drives.
