I am currently on a cheap Toshiba and a faster and more reliable computer is on my to-get-list after I make some serious cash. What's a good laptop for PPC marketing?

Macs aren't going to work for this, are they? (A lot of programs that are exclusive for PPC that work well, and only on PC).
 


ROFL, why wouldn't a Mac work? I run Linux as my main desktop, and I can still do PPC.

Anything mid range will serve you well.
 
Like I said, there are some tools I use that don't have Mac counterparts. I suppose one could do a dual boot, but I'd rather just stick to the good-ol PC. <3 M$.
 
What is so important that you couldn't use a mac? Look you'll be fine.
 
Yeah, a 10 year old system running Linux and using free programs is all that is needed to make someone rich.

There isn't a "best" for everyone. You have choose what size screen you prefer, if you want it to be able play blu-ray, etc.
 
Macs laptops have a really nice form factor if you have the monies. I wouldn't personally run OSX on it if I was doing affiliate marketing though.

From here Details Surface About the $1 Million Laptop - 1 million Laptop - Gizmodo



We're finding out more about that mysterious $1 million laptop we told you about last week. It turns out you actually get fairly up-to-date tech for your million dollars, including a 17-inch LED backlit screen, a 128-gig hard disk and a slot-loading Blu-ray drive. Still, that's not quite a million dollars' worth of tech. Things get really weird with its integrated screen cleaning device, which must consist of a little elf that pops out and wipes off the display from time to time.


The jewel in the crown as a huge diamond that you carry around with you, and the laptop will only start if you insert that specific gem into its form-fitting receptacle. Company CEO Rohan Sinclair Luvaglio says diamonds have been used elsewhere in the notebook, but "we have given them purpose." Said Luvaglio, "I didn't want us to simply rehouse a laptop into a diamond-studded casing, or diamond-encrust the entire thing simply to make it expensive. We've put thought in from the keyboard down to the power charger." He must hope prospective purchasers don't put much thought into buying a laptop that costs a million dollars. – Charlie White

Since nobody is going to give you a real answer, here is the deal. Any modern laptop, hell any laptop that has internet access is going to work fine. If your going to be designing your own landing pages using software (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver) then I would recommend you get something fast enough and with enough memory (4GB recommended). Go visit a Best Buy or a comp store to get a feel for the size of laptop you like. Buying online usually nets the best deals.

Netbook 10-11" (Pros: cheap, small, long battery Cons: slow as shit, low resolution)
Small 12"-13" (Pros: easy to move, Cons: harder to do work on, can be more expensive)
Medium 14"-16" (Pros: can still to move, usually best bang for buck, easier to work on Cons: bit larger)
Large 17"+ (Pros: biggest screen / keyboard, best as a desktop replacement Cons: big heavy)

Me personally I have a HP 15.4" widescreen and its perfect for my needs since I can still use at airports and do serious work on it.

If your looking at something that will sit on your desk 99% of the time a 17" may be your best bet. I would avoid netbooks (the super small / cheap ones) because they are slow as shit and essentially useless for real work.

Once you get the size down, look online on sites like slickdeals.net or techbargains.com for the best prices. Do not get a castrated processor like a sempron, celeron. Get a Intel Core 2 or better. The sweet spot for a laptop is about $600 so look for a good deal. If you look through shopping on bing.com you can get "cashback" for some stores (its like a auto rebate).

Hope this helps.
 
How dare you dis my Lappy?!

^^^^^^^^^^^^You're shitting me right?!

As a True PPC Baller, he'd be sitting by a pool with his LUVAGLIO opened up and monitoring campaigns. When the babes see this, it will get him TONS of "Cotton Candy" dude!!

Shit, he can whip that bad boy out and insert his Diamond in it to fire it up in front of an AM and he'll get ALL of the best converting offers in that Network!!

Fuck, once he has one of those babies he can take it to any AF/IM Convention and they will KNOW that he's the shit!!

That WAS a REAL fucking answer!!! Were you not paying attention? DAMN!! Lulz
 
A real answer: A newer laptop model with a 15.6 or 16 wide would be nice for doing windows next to each other or for wide spreadsheets.

Small enough to carry yet good screen.

Check battery life before buying and make sure to get a Windows 7 upgrade coupon.
 
Meh , I'm on a 3 year old laptop , and have a i7 I just built at the office, it's nice and all but there aren't too many things I can't do on on the laptop I have here.
 
Psh. I run windows apps just fine on my mac. I use VMWare Fusion and have a clean XP install on a virtual machine. If I don't need the entire desktop I can run those windows apps natively within OSX.

Parallels is awesome too, but I've really liked VMWare Fusion.

As far as it goes, you're most going to be concerned with:

1) Screen Size
2) Processing Power (CPU, RAM, Video)
3) Storage Space
4) Battery Life
5) Portability

Netbook -- Isn't going to cut it if you're doing development. Would be fine for checking stats on the road or making changes to ad copy, etc.

What is your normal work environment like? How many apps do you usually run?

I'd say any core2duo should treat you fine. Make sure it has 4gb of ram and hopefully decent battery life.

I get 4 hours off the battery on my Mac, which has suited me fine.

Also.. pfff.. "in-house" apps? I'm sure if you had in house developers building custom applications for you, you wouldn't need to ask us what type of laptop to get.

Just sayin'.
 
I don't want to be the victum of a Mac Attack (Oh, Nooes!!), so here!!

If you're feeling Fruity, you could sport one of these:

The 24-carat gold MacBook Pro, with diamond studded Apple logo
