My old laptop is :flabbynsick: and a step away from :deadrose: so needless to say I need a new one. Should I grab one of these windows 7 joints for the low or sit Indian style and twiddle my thumbs until the windows 8 computers drop?

If I were you look into buying a Vizio VIZIO Computers - All in One Desktop, Notebook, Ultrabook PCs | VIZIO best PC's in the game no bloatware pure Windows.

You can buy a Windows 7 PC now and it will cost 15-35$ to upgrade to Windows 8.

I don't think Win8 laptops are going to offer anything better maybe a better trackpad but apparently Vizio's are pretty good.

If you on a budget and want a computer for surfing and downloading music get an i3, 4GB of memory and solid state you should be set.

If you're gonna wait, don't wait for the operating system. Wait because you want to see what hardware the new models have.

Reactions to Windows 8 have been...mixed, with most of the criticisms revolving around the Start Screen and how the Metro UI meshes with the desktop UI. My recommendation for now is to try it out the Release Preview.

Personally, I like it well enough. I find it to be like a refined version of Windows 7 and I never really used the Start Menu much, so I don't really mind the Start Screen or the Metro UI :manny:

Windows 7 will be superior to Windows 8, much like XP was superior to Vista.

I'd say go for it.

Microsoft's retail pattern is very obvious, and every other os is more end user / consumer driven and is a dissapointment

Windows 3.1.1 :lawd:
Windows 95 :beli:
Windows 98 :takedat:
Windows me :sadcam:
Windows xp :myman:
windows vista :childplease:
Windows 7 :smugdraper:
Windows 8 :usure:

If you used Windows 8 its a lot better than Windows 7. Once you get the hang of Metro and Desktop you cant go back.

Never used it but like dude above you said, they have a bad reputation of fuccing up OS's after a real solid offering.
