Cpl Ledanek Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 so I was shopping for a Mac Pro for my brother until they decided they needed a 17" ---- which was up to the $2200+ so I'm suggesting a couple of Window laptops. Dell is out. But I'm not up to par with laptop technology. Here are some of that I have research for them.
