Studio XPS vs Lenovo T400 vs MacBook

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Hello everyone, this will be my first post here. I'm currently looking for my first notebook. I will be leaving the country for a few months and would want to do some computing abroad.

At work I used to have a Lenovo T61 and that is why the T400 seems like a good pick. Then again the Dell Studio XPS 13" looks good as well. And since I always wondered about what Apple was all about, the MacBook is kind of on the mix also.

I don't do any gaming. I do limited photo and video editing, My budget is about $1,300 dollars. I know that I would want something with at least Intel Core 2 Duo 8xxx or 9xxx processor, 2 or more gigs or Ram, DVD recordable, LED screen, 160gig or larger hard drive, and bluetooth. I've been reading reviews for the above three and after going through some YouTube videos I'm completely lost.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Looking around at the laptops you mentioned the Dell Studio Xps has the best specs. The second best config that dell offers ($1,259)has 4 gb of DDR3 ram which is the fastest currently and under the price you have you will only get 2 gbs with the macbook and T400. The processor on the Dell is at 2.53 GHz as well as the T400 but the macbook only has a 2.0 GHz processor speed. The Dell also has more HD space than the macbook and T400. Also note that macs aren't good for gaming because of the OS that they use even though you can dual boot windows and OS X it costs more.

Have you seen a Studio XPS up close and hands on yet? Those laptops are fantastic. Great looks, great hardware, and best price. The pictures and specs on the web pages don't do those laptops any justice at all.
