So I just got promoted to closer and am in need of a new laptop for presentation purposes. The company is footing the bill, ultimately I will have to pay them back though so I'm not looking for something outlandishly expensive. The co-owners / first closers bought pimped out Macintoshes that were like $2500, I don't know if I need that much computer.
Here's what I need.
1) Big, clear screen with a good graphics card / RAM to power the graphics.
2) Slim, professional looking with an OS that doesn't suck
3) Mac or PC?
You guys know how I feel about Macs, I really don't enjoy them. But EVERYONE thinks I should get one. I'd like to keep the cost under $2 grand and I'd like to be able to run the DJ software for my new turntable setup (which pretty much any new computer would probably be able to do). Questions are, are there any PCs worth getting out there? Is it not worth the hassles down the line? I'm still using John's old Inspiron 700m and it's hanging in there pretty well. Or should I just take the dive and go against my reasoning and get a Mac?
