Computer dead...which to buy?

Apple products are fantastic. They just work and don’t fuck you around.

Plus, you can run Windows on them through Bootcamp. So easy and awesome!

Apart from Pokemon videos and UPCCC I will need to run music production software and video editing software. Not going to be using it for gaming (or porn)

I see a lot of users use Mac to edit videos and music.

But if that is too much for you. I would just go with a i5 Dell Pc since it is easier to replace anything in a dell pc.

I worked at a computer place and we would fix broken PCs and resell them and Dell is much easier to fix anything or add anything.

I even have a Dell Laptop

All PC are easy to fix.

Only if you know what you are doing!

Just PM me if you want to know what to choose on the sites I provided, If not gonna use a custom build site with awesome warranties and stuff. If you dont you will end up with cheap components. If you do chose a prebuilt, then dont pay to much man as omahanime said there be stuff for 399.

I can find you a system from one of those sites with the parts chosenfor you already, but I would go custom man and PM me xD

i wouldnt chose this one because you could add one up for a better price, but this will destroy all prebuilt machines from elsewhere and its 700bucks:

You want to make sure you add a ssd drive into your system, because you dont want a slow Operating environment and a ssd drive will make your PC very fast :blush:
The some what recent release of some really high end ones, have made Solid state Drives go down very muchlyness than they use to be, so there pretty affordable :blush:

For Basic, Lower-End Computers: Buy

I’m a PC gamer so my needs are a bit higher than for a regular user, so unless you game simply forget about a high powered video card or a high-end CPU, the cost will go down, my recommendations are:

*CPU: Nothing lower than a Quad Core i5
*RAM: 8GB (RAM nowadays is really cheap)
*SSD (Solid state drive) as your main Hard Drive.

Absolutely no overpriced Apple garbage, unless you’re in the art/music business you do NOT need them, heck, musicians and artists don’t need them either but they look pretty to them I guess, some use them for a dumb status symbol too.

Let us know your budget and we can guide you better. :blush:

Hey guys - I ended up just buying a prebuilt laptop! (don’t hate me)

I needed something quickly and to be honest I don’t think i’d be any good at building a desktop etc.

I went for the laptop because it has 16GB ram, AMD A10 7300 and Windows 10 pre-installed. Also was £100 off and comes with a 3 year warranty! :blush:

Windows spys on your soul. Remember nothings free, and if it is your probably the product.

Skylake Core i7 + Geforce Graphics + M.2 NVMe SSD = Sorted :blush:
