Trying to decide btw Maxxum and Ibex (which I like the color better). Computer is smaller so does not need the 17" Ibex but might weigh less?

I have a 13inch computer and love this bag, it is very lightweight and has straps to compress the bag. But when I am carrying losts it still has the room for the bigger load

Space and budget permissible, I would go with the P163's. I hate to strictly abide by "bigger is better" but often it is the case. That being said, I am still beyond thrilled with my P153's and am a bit sad that I didn't pick up more when I had the chance.

This was bought for my daughter. She got Mac from her college. I like smaller laptops (11-12 inches). I am actually selling one with Office 2013 loaded on it. You cannot go wrong with this one.

It honestly doesn't really matter. It's all about your preference on which one is the best. If you're talking about the quality and speed, then try and find one that has a 2 g/hz processor or above. I personally like dells, they are a very reliant computer. Plus, they have a very cool look to them. But, to me, if you're willing to spend some money, MacBooks are the way to go. Not only does the software not crash, apple has always had very good products. The only draw-back to it is the cost. So, in conclusion, it's all about what you're willing to spend.

I have been using a macbook pro (17 in.) for about four and a half years. I have had no software problems. With automatic updates, it's required no other attention on that front. One problem with the 17 in. is the batteries. I have replaced battery on mine twice in that time (through the apple store, at no cost). I understand that this problem is more or less confined to the 17 inch model. Am finally about to replace the machine as it has suffered a unreasonable amount of abuse (frequent travel to strange locations for work). There are no problems with function, despite a hard life, but it's getting a little rough. I will most likely replace with a 15 inch, which I believe is a better size if you're going to being moving it around, even if just to the couch. The 17s a little heavy. I anticipate using the 17 at home, as it's still going strong. It's still a really good machine. Also, the Office for Mac programs have worked very well for me (daily use) and are virtually identical to the windows versions. THE ONLY CAUTION: if you use any other software, be aware that a lot of companies don't make versions for mac. I have occasion to use accounting software and some other business applications, and YOU CAN'T GET THEM FOR MAC. If this is a question, check with your software manufacturer. Otherwise, I recommend Apple products wholeheartedly. Good luck!

I had an older Dell GX 270; a durable machine. I bought a new Dell 745 Optiplex and mouse, keyboard and external speakers were all compatible.

Relatively thin when compared to most laptops today and the same thing for the weight. Gaming for Minecraft will be okay on Moderate settings but games like Crysis 3 and Battlefield will struggle.

Mate, it's always best for overhead. You're gonna need higher res textures anyways so just go for the 3gb

I second the Microcenter recommendation. Mine shipped today, $419 after shipping...it's the blue XP, 120GB version.

Thanks for the replies. Actually I haven't made my decision yet. I didn't know which to get and just decided to wait, but I am thinking I will go with the larger size. Would it be better to get the 6"x11" since I have a wide screen monitor? or does it really matter?

You are giving up having a larger viewing area for your monitor. Also, probably Macbook Pro you have has a faster CPU and maybe a faster HD. You cannot replace those on a Macbook. If your Pro has a 7200 rpm HD then that is much better than the 5400 HD that's available on the Macbook.Combine that with a 2.8 GHz cpu and you have a much faster laptop.If you are talking about weight the Macbook weighs 4.5 lbs and the Pro probably a lb or more than that. Bottom line, unless you are doing a lot of graphics of photoshopping that require a lot of cpu time and HD space I would say that an aluminum Macbook would be just fine for you.

I think the "entry level" newest iMac 21.5" for $1299 is the MD093 with Nvidia GT640 graphic card, and the "upscale" iMac 21.5" for $1499 is the MD094 with the faster GT650 card.

I have a 17.3 PC by Gateway and it fits great, as well as books for class along with it......I'm not sure about Mac.

You may want to go for something stronger, otherwise if you buy this PC then consider upgrading its graphics card and/or processor. It'll be great for medium sized projects but you might want to go bigger.

Got a m14x but it has plenty of room on both sides of my computer. xD yeah, I think it will fit nicely.

I have the ASUS ROG G750JS. Yes it is definitely big enough for a 17.3 in laptop/rig. Lots of pockets and straps for you don't hurt your back lugging it around.

I would probably get the 14", as this bag doesn't contain a strap to secure the laptop to keep it from shifting around. Without that, it might move around too much with the extra space of the 17". As for cables and such, it has other compartments, so that shouldn't be a problem.
