Chest12 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 My Powerbook finally died so me and my brother thought it would be best if i ordered a Dell Vostro. Did i make a good choice or should i choose a macbook and waited for it. I ordered a farly good spec core 2 duo 1gb ram and only £350 thats wat made it tempting to me. Did i make a good choice? Are there any people that own vostros out there if so what are they like? Thanks in Advance D.

Synaesthesia Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Dell Vostro works well, you can run OSx86 on it just fine with iAtkos Leopard for PC's, but it takes a little work. For a full guide check out Macgirl's thread (if it looks a little daunting, don't worry, it's not so bad). Have you already bought the PC? I would recommend at least 2gb RAM, but it's not a deal-killer. As for whether it's better than the Macbook? Well each has it's positives and negatives. The Macbook will have a slimmer and smaller design, a longer battery life, and of course work perfectly with no effort. But the Dell is a nice laptop.

Chest12 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Yes should be delivered by the 1st August. And i have already said that the ram wants upgrading just £120 for 2gb is a rip off so im ordering separately.

CLiDE FTW!!1 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Sometimes I regret buying a MacBook, they are so lackluster, and the X3100 is even crappier than the 950... Oh well, there's ups and downs about every computer. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/117301-rip-powerbook/#findComment-832311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
