The Cheese, The Whole Cheese and Nothing but the Cheese

[jigfresh]

I only buy toshiba laptops... and build my own desktops like dons talking about.

 

[DST]

I could probably build a desktop, but it would only be good for putting cups of tea and maybe a monitor on.....lol.

 

[mr west]

I want a desk top to go with my moniter and desk and shit lol. I got 4 towers now but they all many years old now and dont run right lol. If i knew my chips id build one up off ebay and jus stick it all in one of the old cases lol. budgets £300.00 dont need storage just a fast machine that can multitask lol.

 

[mr west]

Cof mate, im so glad you are liking the JBxED. Its a strain i want to grow when i got things sorted. Oh yeah my plants are under 600w now on 12/12 but i have no veg area to speak of yet, cant jus go banging nails in walls willy nilly as its a timber structure and i need to use a stud finder to locate the joists. I need to set up something or lose all my clone onlys lol.

 

[mantiszn]

agree with the others, desktop = build your own.
but if you do just wanna buy, we use a lot of hp for clients they seem to have fewer issues.. although they do seem to cost slightly more

depends what you're going to do with it. the only real difference is the processor. the pentium is a better chip imho but you'd likely never know the difference unless you're doing half a dozen things at once.

get the extended warranty-they are not the most reliable.
the wife's lasted two years-after going back for factory repairs twice.

[DST]

we're blanking it, the cheapest ones they were asking 350-550 euros for, and my wife didn't think they were worth it. They are 2nd hand models that are being used by Graphic Designers on the whole, so have also been put through their paces.

 

[ghb]

lol 550 for a second hand mac, i think you made the correct decision.

 

[mantiszn]

I've heard the desktops are a bit shakey,
I've had my MacBook for 5 years, MacBook pro for 3 and air for 2 without any issues on any of them, haven't even had to reinstall the OS once.

Like I said it all comes down to the particular batch of components that they are putting in at that time, bit of a lucky dip really.
