Hi Guys,
Was pretty much gonna get a MBP in the next month but now after doing some research Im having second thoughts where Im thinking the only reason I was the MBP is due to the build quality rather than the OS (well I was also considering getting that SDK to tinker around making apps for the iPhone but I just get justify spending that much money for such a transient wish) and so a MBP might not be for me...
So I guess Im in the market for a laptop and looking to buy with Win 7 HP (min) already loaded so it wont be until the end of next month. What makes/models would you recommend? As a said I want it to be well built with minimalistic looks and as little plastic as possible!
Really unsure about what I want in it (just dont know how far laptops have progressed) but I want a smallish form factor (was thinking 13.3") and it is for web/productivity apps/media. Very unlikely to use it for games other than to past the time...
I am always up for any suggestions!
TIA and sorry for the wide brief - happy to try and be more specific where prompted...
EDIT: I remember OcUK selling build to order laptops using 'standardised' laptop barebones - how did they do - do they still do it? Worth me going down that route as a possible and easier upgrade path solution?
