Atomsk, my dearly beloved laptop purchased such a short while ago in large part from my loving parents, is (effectively) dead. When taken to the Apple Store, he was declared to be at DAMAGE TIER LEVEL 4. That's apparently bad. As in, DEFCON 4 THE SOVIETS HAVE GONE TO CONDITION RED bad. The man at the desk tells me it will run at least 1300 to repair him.
Though his data is still intact, I figure it is too late for him. I am exploring some options, but Im not too hopeful.
Right now, Im preparing for the worst.
The king is dead. We must prepare for succession.
THE MACBOOK
A solid choice. Small, cute, cheap and high-powered. However, it lacks any kind of decent graphics card and has an admitably small screen. Since I use my computer as a kind of entertainment center, this could be problematic.
THE MACBOOK PRO
Highpowered and wide (not thick), this is the heavy hitter of Apple's portables. A faster chip, larger screen and a nifty graphics card are its highpoints. But its price tag brushes past the WAY WAY TOO MUCH level.
THE IMAC
Best of both worlds, but stuck to the ground. A huge screen, a graphics card with more RAM and a hard drive the size of greate Milwaukee are just some of its dandy features which come at an equally dandy price. But its not exactly going to fit into my backpack.
PS.
I become E-FAMOUS! Try to find me on this page!
PPS.
As you can tell from these pictures, all the other bands were not nearly rocking hard enough. You ain't got time for gentle melodies if you rock so hard you have to wear a tamborine on your head! Go buy Mason Proper's album, or better yet see them live.
PPPS.
Also, get the new Wilco album. And see them live too.

I vote for Option D, "A LAPTOP THAT IS NOT A MAC." They come in a much wider variety of combinations of size, power, and price and are, from what I've seen of your laptops' reliability, much more durable. But I may just be a dumb, self-deluded PC person.
