New computer

[Chase]

Okay so I'm going to have to get a new laptop and was wondering what kind I should get, I will only play runescape on it and use it for school. Looking to spend less than $1,500. Any suggestions?

Use a custom PC builder or make your own. I just got a new one, well a desktop! Quick as hell and im loving it!

If 1500$ falls within Macbook range you could always consider them, they're good products but consider whether you plan on using most of the applications that are actually useful/necessary to be used on OS X.

 

If you don't really have special use for OS X then you're probably better off getting a Windows Ultrabook. Of course it all depends on your preferences but you should look around for the mid-high end ultrabook range. I got my XPS 13 two or three years ago and I love it: its screen quality is great, it's SSD quick and the weight of the laptop is obviously a fantastic. Battery Life is good but a bit less than the average Macbook, but those balance each other out (again it's just what you prefer).

 

They've only gotten better since so I'd take a look and post a few possibilities below for people to look at =P

Personally love my Macbook use it for school being a web designer & graphic designer, use it to scape here and there. If you're not a big fan of Mac's I got to use the new Surface book (Microsoft) and it definitely gives the Macbook a run for its money with a Windows Based OS, you can setup your Mac to have both operating systems if you wanted to rather easy, but personally I suggest Mac with a laptop if you go Desktop do a full custom build.

you're spending way too much if you just want Runescape and school work. I'd look at spending about $500 tbh.
