dunklerengel Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 well it´s a long time since i wrote on the forum, and i´m asking again cuz of the new laptops that have been realeased recently, i´m looking for a powerfull laptop but i don have a lot of money i actually just have $1000 and i´m looking to buy a laptop to do some of my work, some graphic desing, websites development, animations and video editing. I have seen the dell vostro, but actually the most suitable configuration it´s over my budget and i have llok the HP dv6500t that has almost the same configuration as the dell vostro, but i think there are more laptops, in USA stores that could giveme some power that i need to work, and of course more compatibility with osx86, i´m actually considering to buy a macbook but i´m thinkiong that the graphic card it´s not enought for me. If you can please recomendme some other laptops more compatible or more powerfull could be grate. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUKKU Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 Why not just get a macbook if you have that kind of money? Amazon has deals pretty often where you could get the Macbook for just a few more dollars than what you have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunklerengel Posted October 3, 2007 Author Share Posted October 3, 2007 Maybe now that the driver for the nvidia 8xxx series have been developened it would run OSX86, and i can´t aford a macbook cuz I domt live in USA and here all the apple products are very expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I saw a Lenovo 3000 N100 with nVidia 7300 graphics, a core duo processor, 945G chipset etc. It should run os x perfectly. If you can, get a laptop with Broadcom wireless, or Atheros. They work well. (certain chipsets anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil a meant Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Get a MacBook- you won't be disapppointed. Honestly, you're not going to get a better (or obviously more compatible) laptop for under $1000.00. If you're looking to save some $$$, Apple often has great deals on refurbs (currently they have a MacBook for $849.00 with free shipping!) I've always purchased refurbs and never had a problem (they even have the full 1 year warranty with the option to pick up Applecare!) Good luck in whatever you decide!

Synaesthesia Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 He doesn't live in the USA. But maybe he can get a macbook from there. That's also a good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rundll32 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I have Lenovo N100 3000 with configuration you talking about (there are many different configurations named N100!!!) and as I am grephic designer, I may say it is faster and more stable than my 24" iMac!!! Of corse, no soun and no wireless, but if graphic design tools is what zou need to work perfect and smooth, N100 is more than best option! I have 1220c HP printer, and it work well too.
