Well the hard drive in my laptop has finally kicked the bucket and I need to get a new one. Who makes good laptop hard drives? It has been awhile since I have had to replace one and I don't usually keep up with the latest and greatest with laptop hard drives.

Laptop hardware is something that you don't want to go mixing and matching, just trust me on this. I own a crap load of laptops, and even though I like them more than desktops, they are very hard to upgrade and you do not want to start messing around with other companies parts in a main part of your system.

What brand laptop? Often times you can get a free replacement from the company if the warranty is current. Thats what I did.
If you can't, go with Hitachi. Toshiba isn't too bad either.

Hmmm, that says a lot about Compaqs. Then again, I use a Dell Inspiron 5100 upgraded to the moon, but at least I haven't had any issues with it.

You are right, but at the time compaq was much cheaper than dell in respect to laptops that is.

You don't need to tell me that Compaq laptops are crap. Dell laptops aren't really any better.

They really aren't. I like my Thinkpad the best. Now thats a computer. If you have money, solve your issues and get an IBM laptop.

If you have a bit more money, solve all your issues and get a PowerBook instead.

Actually, I think the ThinkPads and PowerBooks are the same price. Its all in the matter of preference, I suppose. If you want to be a video editor, get the PowerBook. If you want to game/develop get the ThinkPad. If you are just the average comp use, I dunno, I guess some other brand is best for you.

Game and thinkpad do not go together. You cannot do a whole lot of gaming with onboard video.

True, but you can do even less gaming on a Macintosh.

You make it sound as though you can't develop on a PowerBook!

Well, obviously you can, but then again, you can develop on anything you want to. If you have a Thinkpad, and then hence a PC, and you are also a devloper, guess what OS you are going to be running?
I haven't seen a whole lot of Mac devlopers out there, but I have seen a lot of Linux/Windows devlopers, (me being both) so I dunno, you can develop on a Mac, but to me anyway, it doesn't seem as worth while.

As a Linux developer, it seems you'd want to develop on OS X. Not only is it simple, and not only are the tools freely available, but they're similar enough operating systems that it shouldn't be that difficult to adapt for OS X. Besides, with OS X, you'd get to program on a
real
Unix OS.

Um, what? If you are talkinb about ANSI C or just standard apps like that, I would says yes, you are right. ANSI C has almost no differences from Windows to Linux to Mac. But what about GUI programming, if you want to make your program look nice? That varies extrememly from Windows to Linux to Mac. With Windows you have Windows API, Linux you have GTK and X-devlopment, I'm not so sure about because I try to stay away from Mac. And honestly,
real
Unix is nothing but a command terminal. It was how it was first devloped and first used, and Linux's Slackware takes full advantage of that.

By real Unix, I was referring to anything that actually has Unix as its core. Linux does not. Linux is based on Unix, but the Linux kernel doesn't actually use any code from Unix.

Well according to SCO Linux uses code from Unix.

And they certainly have no reason to stretch the truth a bit.
