Mac or PC...

[Techn9cianforlife]

get your mac fixed man.... pc are just, well..... wild sometimes

I got a Like New Refurb Macbook for 600$... works perfect, you can find Imac 17Inch (only like 2 GB RAM , but you can upgrade that shit SO EASY) for like 300-500 dollars, might be an option man

Keep the Mac I say

I was actually thinking about refurbished today. My Ipod Classic Slim..that I got the same day as my Macbook..is still going strong. Of course and Ipod is much different than a Macbook. But yeah, that is deffinitely an option. Honestly though, if I got a new one...I would probably keep this one with the broken screen, and just use it to keep my music on and that's it. Clear out every thing else.

PC haters.

Not a fan of macs, or apple in general.

here is the photo that tech was trying to show you guys:

Friends don't let friends use Macs!
Get a x64 PC laptop and be done with it.

Being that my Job is to build custom PC's and maintain PC's for people I for one do not like HP/Dell/etc pre-fab machines.
However, if you look at them seriously you can find the ones that allow customization at a later date if you need something increased for school, work, or leisure.

I'm not a fan of laptops, but I do own a few. I did a lot of looking around at christmas because my mom wanted a new laptop and I got her a new Toshiba one.
They do come outfitted with lots of crap software to rip out, but otherwise it is a damn solid machine. Her laptop is a L650 series (16" monitor) and is great all
around except the video gpu which is your standard onboard stuff that I have no liking for, but it's good enough for most things up to minor gaming.

If you want a solid recommendation on a laptop then I need to know exactly what you want to use it for. Otherwise, it's merely guesswork.
$500 isn't a lot to work with on a laptop unless it's a basic model with a couple bells & whistles.
If you get me the model number of your laptop I can ask a friend who is an Apple Genius (aka Mactard >_<!) and he can give me a ballpark on repair.

options:
- refurbed macbooks from 750 $
- new generic screen , use your broken mac as a stationary machine
- ipad (still requires some other machine tho)

@Derk: Ive never had a problem with any of my Apple products. I've had 4 Ipods, an Ipad for one of my classes this past semester, and my Macbook. I'm not a "PC hater" cause if that were true, I wouldn't be considering replacing my Macbook with a PC laptop. But thank you for posting the picture

@Replicant: I don't want an estimate from a Mac Genius cause they always over price things Lol I already got the cost of the repair from Apple, and for them to personally fix it, it would be around $500. A place here in Boise called "Mac World" said about $200 for the LED screen then estimated hour labor. I don't really use my computer for anything besides school (typing papers, doing homework online, etc) editing skate videos (fakeskating and real skating) doing random shit online (like coming to Fluckit for example), Skype to talk to my girlfriend cause she lives 45 minutes away and only see her once a week, and my Itunes. Soo honestly, as of now..I think I've decided to fix my Macbook.

@Bohemian: How is getting a $750 refurbished Macbook an option, when I said I can't get anything more than $500??? Lol

If you have a place that will do it for $200+Labor then that is your best bet since that is pretty basement. As for my friend he would have given me their prices and then his side-job prices which are always vastly different. He's pretty good at knowing parts prices and such. It sounds like you honestly use it like a netbook so I can't feel right recommending you buy anything better than you have since you'd simply be wasting cash. I still feel bad enough that you're using an Apple product.
