Windows eight is really making me consider switching to Apple. As someone who grew up on windows Microsoft must have been smoking crack when they devised eight. Otherwise any of the reputable manufacturers will work Wanted to switch to apple try 1K to start new Dell $279 ETA: last laptop $2500 (Gateway) |

Windows 8.1 is fine stock, as soon as you learn how to use the interface. It's much easier to navigate the OS in 8.1(IMO). I watched a few youtube videos, it's not as bad as I thought it would be, still a learning curve It's really not. Boot to desktop is fine. I'm running 8.1 on my desktop at home. I almost never see the Metro interface. |

Download classic shell. Why... 8.1 basically has the same start button as the previous versions, you just have to right click instead of left on it. I run Start8 and disable all the metro crap. Haven't found anything I need that's metro and don't see any reason to use it on a laptop. It'd be different on a touch screen without a keyboard. |
