Ricardo91	5. Posted: Sat 11th Jul 2009 04:04 BST I can't think of any non game-related examples, but two of my best investments were the Devil May Cry anniversary collection for $25, and Taito Legends 2 for $10 (NEW!). Can't think of any others at the moment.

Do not get a Laptop unless your work requires you to get one. Laptops have worse keyboards, mice, screens and hardware and you double for them. On top of that, upgrading a laptop is tricky and expensive. Apple charge an extra $700-$1000 Aussie for the fact that it is a Mac. Upgrades are also significantly more expensive, because you have to go through a licenced vendor. On top of that, Macs play very few games, and the ones they do play are Windows ports. They also don't support a lot of "homebrew." Essentially, Apple like to control the market, whereas Microsoft share control with the hardware manufacturers. Because of this, Apple computers cost far more, and upgrades are ridiculously overpriced. Laptops are worse than desktops in every way except portability, and even then the battery life is poor and they're about as portable as an 80's mobile phone. So I would get a Windows desktop, unless you have a ridiculously disposable income. And whatever you do, do not get a brand name computer; always custom build. Brand name computers have poor quality PSUs and Graphics cards, and lock the OS to the Motherboard so that if you want to do a major upgrade you have to pay a $40 unlocking fee to Microsoft. They also charge about an extra $300-$400 Aussie. If you want a hand, I could help you set up a computer than runs Crysis in high detail for under $1000 Canadian. ~Kim Jong Il out!

Thanks for telling me that,I will most likely get a Mac Desktop computer for my music ,it's just that my family members have been telling me how good a Macbook is and that I should get one,because I do want a laptop so I can study and compose music wherever I go.

It would be nothing more than a hassle because you would have two different sets of files to worry about. But promise me you'll buy a dektop mouse for your Macbook! Look into the Logitech MX518. Pure awesome for AU$25.

Admin Corbs	15. Posted: Sat 11th Jul 2009 05:48 BST The Macbook keyboard is the best keyboard I've ever used. It might look funny with its "chiclet" style, but it's outstanding. And I love this new glass trackpad that has no button. The entire pad is the button and you can scroll, set commands to two and three finger combinations, and it's smooth as silk. I like Mac desktop computers, but you can't beat a Macbook or Macbook Pro. They're worth every penny, IMO. Edited on Sat 11th July, 2009 @ 05:49 by Corbs
