So... I've decided that I might be getting a Lenovo Thinkpad.

Andrew, don't try and talk me out of it.

Why would you post it here if you didn't want someone to try and talk you out of it. Me thinks your sub-conscious is trying to tell you something. :-D

I wanted to let everyone know that I'm getting a new laptop basically. :-P

No wonder you have almost 3000 posts. :roll: :-D


But seriously, is this going to replace the macbook? Sell the macbook? Keep the macbook and use this in addition?

You told me to get rid of it. I found a potential buyer at HHP. That way I'll never need to try to import a WMV file into Cubase ever again...

When did I say that? I said you should install windows on the macbook, and set it to dual boot with windows being the primary. Then you wouldn't have to spend any extra money. (Although you'll probably come out close to even from selling the macbook)

I'm not sure what WMV files have to do with anything.

Actually Sub is buying the Thinkpad over there. I'll have cool Korean characters on it and cost me much less. I'll actually have money left over. I'm just done with Macs in general, I think, but I'll still approve of the purchase of a Mac Pro for the PTHD rig.

The WMV files is a side problem that I have with the last remaining member of HHP that doesn't own a mac. I'm trying to change that though...

Yes. He wants a Mac and I don't...lol

Also the Lenovo Thinkpads are pretty plums deep, so there's also that.

As far as Laptop pc's go, the Lenovo Thinkpad is top notch. I use one for school and am very pleased with it. Good rugged design and reasonably priced. 2 thumbs up!
