Deli_kizin, last year there was a revolution in the universe of the Mac-users...Apple decided to change from their own processor to the intel-whateveritiscalled-pc-processor. ...which also made it possible to run windows and pc-programmes on Mac...but...and this is not a small but...are you willing to pay so much money to be able to use what you can get for much less money?

...and be aware that it is possible that not all pc-programmes might be available...I am not sure but there is usually a hook like...if you buy this new computer with the latest of the latest...that means that you have to pay loads of money or wait a year or two to get the programmes that you need...

...Aenigma and Deli_Kizin, I am just like you when it comes to design...I love the Mac-design...I have my iBookG4 at home and my G5 at work and even at my institution at the university we use Mac...and I am happy with it...but I would not recommend it for you to bring to Turkey, Deli_kizin...I think you would waste money without getting what you want from it - besides the best design! lol

...hmmmm...actually I think you should buy your computer before you go to Turkey, dostum. I have heard that computers are more expensive in Turkey than in Europe. I am not sure if that is only used computers or if it is also new ones, but I have a turkish friend that always buy used laptops when he visits Europe and then sell them for good money in Turkey. Might be worth checking.
Good luck with everything!

Yes but the point is... I'm gonna need a Turkish keypad on my laptop! And if it comes to a normal pc with screen and loose keyboard and system, that would be easy: you buy the expensive systemboard and screen in Europe and then a Turkish keyboard in Turkey. But for a laptop it's all in!
And ofcourse I could use those programmes that give you turkish characters on a Western keyboard, but why make it myeslf more difficult? Typing Turkish on a Turkish keyboard goes faster than if I type Turkish in my own Dutch microsoft word with Dutch keyboard.

Or for the first years indeed buy a laptop here and then still buy a Turkish keyboard to install that on the laptop. But that's just not that practical. I'd prefer to have Turkish windows too. I'll learn faster and it will pay off in the future.

Ohh what am I gonna doooooooo.

Ohh can somebody please name some different brands of computers/laptops? First I was thinking of Dell, because they are easy to order online, also in Turkey.. but I never really dare to order from the internet anyway..

You have to be careful where you buy it because the prices of the very same computer change from place to place. (not for only pcs but for every electronique devices) If you fall into the first store without doing any research, you can pay a lot more. If you are going to visit İstanbul, I can give you the name of some of the places to buy.

Mine is Sony VAIO VGN-B1XP and I like it. There're better VAIOs as well. Besides, mine is 2.3 kg which I think is not very heavy. One of the first criteria I was looking for was the weight. Don't buy laptop over 2,5 kg, I advise.
