My Dad got my a labtop for me as a graduation gift. I hear it sucks but I also hear it's ok.

Replies ultima171 Posted at 11:21 am on June 29, 2008 i don't like it, it looks nicer but it runs slower. my friend just got a laptop with vista and i find it confusing and overly busy. it is alot safer than XP but OS X is still safer than either. I would try it, if you like it and it runs fine then keep it but if not downgrade to XP. i would recommend a mac but if its not in your budget (seeing as you just got a new LAPTOP (not labtop)) then dealing with it is your only choice espresso8097 Posted at 12:25 am on June 24, 2008 Since this thread is resurrected somehow...Vista decided to start randomly shutting down my hard drive while running, XP is working just fine. IceTeaEdwin Posted at 6:07 pm on June 23, 2008 Lol...labtop Medicated Smile Posted at 1:57 am on June 11, 2008 I happen to love it... espresso8097 Posted at 7:26 pm on June 10, 2008 As long as the computer is fast enough with enough RAM (good enough video card especially with Aero enabled) it can be decent. pleaseremove Posted at 3:08 pm on June 10, 2008 There is nothing wrong with it. I would consider it to be considerably better than XP and anyone i know who has tried it and actually used it for more than a week or so has come back saying actually, it is much better. So to anyone who says they hate it, say why. Give real reasons. I'm fed up of people saying they hate it and not giving a reason. dude101 Posted at 1:20 pm on June 10, 2008 i love vista.... and its a LAPTOP not a labtop nyc93 Posted at 1:17 pm on June 10, 2008 it works great for me drifting Posted at 1:15 pm on June 10, 2008 If the computer can run it, its great. Most of the people that say it sucks either bought a shitty computer with it already installed, installed it on their pre-existing shitty computer, used it on a friends shitty computer, or have never even used it. Shocking. I know. The fact of the matter is that Vista takes a nice computer to run. Yes, you can get a much lower spec'd computer that will run XP fine, and will install Vista, but barely run it. Vista was programed for the future. It banked on computing laws that state computers get more powerful and cheaper every few years. This is true, but most people are choosing cheaper over more power, which isnt what Microsoft planned on. Ive said it before, and I will say it again. Installed on the right machine, I prefer Vista over XP. Reefer Posted at 1:14 pm on June 10, 2008 Better then XP. emily92 Posted at 1:14 pm on June 10, 2008 its ok on my laptop but suck on the pc NEGATIVE0 Posted at 1:13 pm on June 10, 2008 it's crap. not even worth dx10. Phoenix27 Posted at 1:13 pm on June 10, 2008 Imagine dying by slowly bleeding in an Iron Maiden. That isn't even 1/1000th of how bad Vista is. cavemanaston Posted at 1:13 pm on June 10, 2008 well im running it and i think its fine adobe acrobat reader says it wont work but it still does i think its good HatesYou Posted at 1:12 pm on June 10, 2008 it blows.
