I'm not really sure what I would get. Probably stick with the PC(Dell Precision) in this situation because thats what I am most familiar with.
In all honesty though, I would be looking at a Precision desktop to do any type of work on, and then a smaller notebook, or net book for travel. You can get a more powerful desktop for less $ then a notebook.
just run windows on mac like me!! leopard comes with bootcamp now so you can run windows at full speed. downside is the price. way overpriced to be cool!
I wouldn't really consider the Sony, its not a workstation class computer and everyone that I've know who had one, always had problems.
ReplyDeleteIf you are wanting to do design work with it, these are basically the 3 big contenders in the workstation class notebook:
Dell Precision:
