Jeepmb Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Ok, so I am having to get a laptop now for college which is rapidly approaching. With my family I get a large discount on dells so i am going to get a computer from them (even though I would love to buy a REAL Mac). I am aware that no install on any system is guaranteed, but for someone who wants to store everything on this, doing school work, a few photos, my music, books, a solid build, which Dell Laptop is most likely to be compatable with OS X (preferably Kalyway 10.5.2). And I am sure I will get a "Look at the compatability lists", and I have but I know many people don't always post on there. My only rule is to not have a computer priced over $1500 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/119567-which-dell-to-get/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPimpin Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 There's a Sticky post right at the top of this forum that says, "This forum is not the place for buying advices / compatibility questions". I hope your college offers a freshman course in remedial English comprehension. :censored2: FWIW, I've owned 5 Dells over the years and they've gotten so bad I wouldn't buy another one if you paid me. For that matter I wouldn't buy another Mac, either, but that's a story for a different day.

Anyway, Dell is not the best and take a look, they're recalled some models with nVidia gpu under the hood. MSI Wind, Asus Tablet and HP DVxxxxx Pavillon series would be a preferred alternative. And be willing to change your Wifi cause' Intel based Wifi cards won't works for now in OS X. So you buy one on ebay for 10$ (Dell Mini PCI 1390) and bang, recognize as Airport Extreme Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/119567-which-dell-to-get/#findComment-846660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maykmac Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 i would search the forum for what is the best dell laptop. my suggestion is D620 and stay on kalyway 10.5.2 for now the 10.5.4 is unstable (for me tho) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/119567-which-dell-to-get/#findComment-846680 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your college offers a freshman course in remedial English comprehension. Yah sorry about that. I don't really think when I am posting at 3:00 in the morning But good to know the Intel network cards won't work, I was really depending on that. And yah I know Dells are sort of crappy, I have had to replace the MoBo on it 3 times due to faulty capacitors, but they are cheap Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/119567-which-dell-to-get/#findComment-847657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
