Kuci is getting a laptop - recommendations

Who cares what OS X does? the end result is still that your {x}Book will last you a whole lecture, something that can't be said of most PC laptops.

I for one am not lugging my xbox into any lecture for any reason.

Especially when Asher has been there first. You never know what an homosexual can leave on his "fruitsteps".

If you are bringing a laptop to an undergrad lecture, there should be able plugs around so you won't need your battery. If there aren't plugs, then you aren't supposed to bring your laptop... use paper.

What kind of reasoning is that?

Errr... nope. Not all classes are equipped with plugs... and if you have the habit of being late, it's hard to sit next to the wall sometimes.

Actually Centrino laptops last significantly longer than Apple laptops.

My ThinkPad T40 lasts me 8 hours on a single charge. Which is not good for "a lecture" (which is useless to me), but an entire day's worth of lectures.

My friend's PowerBook is about 2 hours.

Similarly, the ThinkPad T40 gets significantly better wireless reception than the PowerBook does thanks to diversity antennas and a more intelligent design.

True, but Centrino laptops cost much more than an iBook.

If it isn't equipped with plugs, then you are not supposed to bring a laptop. If you do, you end up looking like a dork .

Now if the classroom has plugs everywhere, then its accepted to bring a laptop, and you look normal.

[Fake Boris]

Y'know, girls like dorks.

[Asher]

On my campus, kids have laptops everywhere. New classrooms with plugs & ethernet & wireless, and without.

Get with the times, Imran.

It's all about the tablet PCs now.

Great, as if one Kucisnob wasn't enough

Quebec girls may... and I'll pass on them

Then I'll pass them.
