I’ve decided to buy a laptop, but haven’t decided on which system I should run. I know it depends a lot on what I plan to use it for, and windows is a lot more widely used than mac (especially with schoolwork). And I’m also aware that macs (at least the ones I’ve seen) cost quite a bit more than a windows computer. One of the most important things I’m taking into consideration is the amount of viruses out there for windows computers, as opposed to only one for Mac computers (so I’ve heard). I don’t need lots of fancy features, just basically something with a CD/DVD drive and USB ports. Your opinions and experience with either would be much appreciated, along with any advice you can offer. Thank you!

might ask what, according to what dell has to offer, would fit me? basically a Laptop used for PC games, storage for school work and camera files, and affordable (800 and below, and if needed to, 1000)
Well, if there are any better suggestions and meet the requirements i have to find, would you mind finding it and linking it to me, so i may go on ahead and check it out on the site.
would explaining that the PC game im going for would be World of Warcraft, and would still be able to download atleast 1 more game haha, though i would totally be okay with just world of warcraft.

now as for work, i plan on doing homework for classes and also work on video clips in which i can possibly be able to download any video editing systems, so anything with storage I suppose
I have taken in consideration all of everyones ideas and am still looking for more details and what not. and feel free to send me other information =]

I’m looking for a MacBook 13” Black Laptop from Apple. I don’t want to buy one from the Apple Store, they are way too pricey.

I’m looking for a laptop that i can use for the regular microsoft works, internet, dvd burning…
I’m also a student if that helps. I don’t know which kind to buy? Which one is faster? I keep on hearing mixed ideas and experiences from lots of people.

Any ideas?

I had a macbook until recently, and I dint like it much. How are dell or hp? I am a computer science student, so I need a laptop for coding in C, C#, .NET, java etc. I mostly like windows’ interface.the macbook keys were too much for me.

I’m planning to buy a new laptop since our old one’s pretty slow now. I’m going to use the new one basically to do papers, studying, and research. But I’m also active in art and also planning to buy a new tablet and probably photoshop. And I’ll also use the laptop for browsing the web.

So which laptop is better for school studies, art, and some hobbies?

I did some research on the mac, and heard that its good. I’ve been using a PC for a long time. The only time I’ve actually used a mac is in libraries or such, but the mac seems promising for someone like me. So, mac or PC?

ok, at the moment I dont own a laptop. But I’m looking for one on eBay! Either an ibook Clamshell, (Just because they’re really cute) a PowerBook or a normal iBook G3. But someone told me that you cant work Windows XP on an Apple because they use their own system. But you can install Parallels or Bootcamp. All I need is a loooooooong description of what the difference is and which would be better to get. I also want to know whether it would be a good idea to buy an Apple? AND WHAT IN THE WORLD IS OS X 10.5 Leopard. If someone could answer this in the most polite fashion without telling me how dumb I am for not knowing what OS X 10.5 Leopard is!
Keep in mind that I dont have a limited supply of money and cant really afford a macbook pro seeing that here in Souht Africa, you take the price in America and times it by 7,68. (,000 in America, R15 360 in South Africa)

I just bought a new laptop and it was quite pricey, so I was wondering if it’s a better idea to just buy software that’s already been used and maybe save a buck.

Points of concern:

*Will this idea even work?

*If it’s already been installed on someone else’s computer is it even possible to install on mine?

*If this is a good idea, what websites would it be better to purchase used software from?

*Any other suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

I want to buy a new laptop and I’ve been using a mac powerbook which has been great but since I’ll be graduating college soon and entering the workforce I feel like maybe I should go back to windows? Is Vista worth it? Or should I stick with Mac? What’s better? Thanks.

Ok, so my current computer is dying on me, and I swore that the next computer I would get would be a Mac, because I’m sick and tired of windows.

Right now I use my iPod with my windows laptop, so if I go out and buy a Mac, I can restore it and then use it to sync with that, right?

Just wondering what your experience was like and If it worked well ? Above all we’re you satisfied overall ?

Reason I’m asking is because I might be a used laptop. The model I’m looking at regularly costs a fair amount of money when bought "new". So I’m thinking of getting the same one but used.

Thoughts ?

I recently bought a 15 inch macbook pro with a student discount, but now I want to sell it and get a 13 inch macbook pro. I was told I could only buy one laptop per school year, but wonder if I just go to another apple store and use a different credit card and address, is there any way they will know? How do they know? Do they record my address or credit card number or school affiliation?

I use Photoshop, MS Office, database softwares like Filemaker, Pagemaker, some home video editing, some games (not the heavy ones like some diehard gamers do), surf the internet for about 6-8 hours, download pictures, music and video. So which should I buy a Mac or a PC; a desktop or a laptop? WHY?

I have other considerations besides the OS (I’ve had experience with both Mac OS and Windows) like hardware durability, compatibility with external devices like handycam, digital camera, mp3 players, etc.

Please suggest a specific brand and model.

I’m an American moving to England… I don’t want my computer to explode, I don’t want to spend hundreds on batteries, I don’t want to buy a new laptop, and I absolutely cannot go an entire year without my laptop. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I wanted to buy a laptop instead of an MP3 player and instead of the old game systems, because I can just put the emulator the laptop. If anyone can help me that would be great.
