I too have a problem with the signature. I'm not sure why it exist or why it's being used, but every time I see it I rage inside my head.

LOL HP. You were bagging on Apple then fanboi for HP? Really?

Fanboi'isms aside, they're both "goog" companies with Indian support and decent prebuilt packages especially if you're getting a laptop. However you can't argue against HP being more budgetable for the exact same hardware.

If you are a web designer and use adobe suite its just sooo much easier to use on a mac... from a designers stand point.....

If you have the cash get a macbook pro.... or a lenovo thinkpad.

I just installed a SSD also. The thing is a beast. Installed Win7 in a span of like 5 mins. I don't have the beast computer like most people, but mine does everything I need with no issues for best bang for buck (2009 style).


AMD Phenom II X4 940 processor
8 Gigs of ram
120 Gig SSD
Crosshair II MB (Better motherboards out now)

There are better CPUs out now that can run everything you need. Going i7 or even i5 for the price over AMD is pointless. Unless you are going to be running 40 programs and expect them all to open as soon as you click on them, I'd save the extra $200 on the cpu alone and go with a 4core/6core.

Key to new pc. SSD, Ram, 4-6 core. You can build a beast for 400-500 dollars as it is.

If you want to spend 1k+ for a computer that won't be "outdated" in the next 2 years go the i7 route. As it is my pc from 2009 isn't slowed down.
