    I've decided to get a Mac. My PC is close to dead and I'll plan on getting a new MacBook sometime within the next few months, as soon as I have money.

    We have two Toshibas. They are both rock solid. Toshiba is the truth.

    Just make sure you aren't planning on playing any games on that one. IntelĀ® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M won't even play the older games. Otherwise find one with an ATI or Nividia graphics card which most seem to have now.

    Big reason I am looking to update is I am going to be working from home some and I wanted more stability. The Ol' Averatec runs hotter than a scalded dog, and then it freezes. Of course that usually involves streaming video, but still I don't want to have to deal with that while I am trying to work.


    Games I play are mostly spreadsheets with hideous interfaces - lol

    http://www.solecismic.com/fof/index.php - one of my alltime favorites
    http://www.solecismic.com/tcy/index.php - really needs an update, but still pretty good.
    http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/ootp11/ - best baseball game available.
    http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/newsletters/nl0037/ - another one that could use an update, but still very good.
    http://www.wolverinestudios.com/forum/index.php - both the Pro and College basketball game are decent. Might be better ones out there but I got these on a 1/2 off sale.
    http://www.footballmanager.com/ - probably the only one I have any concern at all about, but it plays on the o'l Averatec so not overly concerned.

    I probably play FOF2k7 way more than anything else. I'm in an online league - could 2017 be the year the Warthogs make the IFL playoffs?

    take a guess as which team was my original team - lol

    I have a Toshiba and have had this one for over 2 years now. Overall, it's a really good purchase. It's audio is amazing. That's probably the best part about it. But, my batterly life now lasts only 20 minutes (lasted 2 hrs 30 mins when I first bought it). I need a new computer now.

    Or a new battery.

    I have a toshiba as well, done me wonders. Battery is completely dead, I unplug it and walk 5 steps from bedroom to lounge and it's down to 5% from 100%.

    True, and that's about the exact same as mine.

    I just think I'd rather go with a Mac this time around. I've been using my cousin's recently. I love it. The batterly life is absolutely phenomenal.

    My Macbook Pro battery lasts about two days (several hours per night) before I have to recharge.. The magnet connect cord is nice as well.. Very fast charge.
