Welcome DJ K3ylan Slayer!

Nice to have you on the board.

I have had good luck with HP laptops too (former corporate issues).

The only laptops I've had bad luck with (of Toshiba, Dell, HO, or Compaq) are the Compaqs...

...they suck!

At least they did 3 years ago...

Whatever you do, DONT BUY A BLACK MACBOOK!!!!

I bought one 6 weeks ago, and am having HUGE issues with it. RANDOM FUCKING SHUTDOWNS.

Im travelling the fucking world and needed a laptop for business purposes (OK, I admit it, im downloading porn too...) and this Macbook is a piece of shit.

Do a search on "Macbook Random shutdown" or RSS as it is being called. This shit is appaling. Apple phone support are fucking useless, and I have to take the laptop to a service centre to see if they "might" be able to fix it on the spot. Seeing as I am never in one town longer than a couple days, and on those days I am working, this is proving to be very difficult.

As soon as I can I am taking this piece of shit back and swapping for a Macbook Pro. Shoulda fucking done that in the first place...

I guess the color doesn't matter much. Imo nobody should buy a macbook because of their quality problems (altough the black one looks alot better than the new "white/yellow/brown"). Sad to hear that it happened to you.

Why can't notebook computer manufacturers build computers which would last longer?! It seems that no matter what you buy these days, it will break down after 2-3 years. Maybe it's the heat which will eventually break down some parts. Everybody puts too powerful cpu's to notebooks. If the processor temp is 50-80 degrees (celsius) and everything is packed in a very small space, it's not a surprise that things start to happen. It should be 30 degrees max!

Who would buy a synth if it lasts only 2-3 years? I want my synths to last at least 40 years!
