Looks like mine is giving up the ghost so need to start looking.
What does everyone recommend? Is the extra price of an apple one worth it?
Dell good. What are decent specs nowadays?

Keeps crashing and restarting with the error "display driver stopped working and windows managed to restart it". Probably fixable but the laptops 5 years old now, time to upgrade really.

My last few Dells have been brilliant...except build quality. The bezels on all 3 just seemed to fall apart.
Got a Vaio now, no complaints so far. Fast enough for me!
I have a Samsung something or other, it's cheaply built but relatively quick. It depends how much you're willing to spend but I'd suggest an i5 with 8GB memory for most people. Ideally an SSD too as it'll make the world of difference.

Right now most of the things I do are server side so the most labour intensive thing is is probably GIMP. But that's not to say I won't run something else in the future. It won't be for playing games though as I use the PS4 for that, well maybe age of empires or c&c.

I've got an iMac which IMO is worth the extra, but I was using it for music production for years so kinda necessary.
Not sure I'd go for a macbook over a decent laptop though, even though windows infuriates me. The iMac prices aren't too bad, but the MacBooks are silly money for a decent spec.
The OS is infinitely better on Macs though.
any of the Mac/Apple stuff is overpriced, and your softwares are going to be a ton more expensive. IMHO Avoid dell at all costs. Every dell ive had (kept buying them because of a corporate discount....) hasnt lasted more than a couple years, and then it craps out, and their customer service makes me want to drop kick puppies off cliffs. One of them, with one of Dells fantastic updates, uninstalled all its driver software... that was a BEAR to get back, and reinstall in a computer that doesnt know if its a brick, a pencil sharpener or my dryer.
