Ok, I am a comparative newbie to the computer world and a definate novice to the Apple. Am looking at getting a laptop for my personal use and for the kids to get comfortable with using an Apple and a PC. Have been to the Apple store in our local mall to look a bit. This will not be used for games (much) just personal web surfing, some finances, photos and other basic stuff. Any suggestions on what model to buy? How do you feel about refurbished models for Apple? Extended warranties worth it? Please not too technical and thank you for your help

It will only be used for web surfing, no programs other than IE and required add-ons (java, shockwave etc.) what do you recommend?

I have used PCs all my life, but now I have decided to switch to Macs because I think they would work well with my kind of use. I have done my research and read about the different ones available, but I’m not sure which would work best for me. All of the PCs I have used have failed with me. I use my computer for many things. I need adequate battery life and a fast system that can handle multitasking with big graphics programs. I mainly use my computer for storing and editing pictures, listening to music, watching movies, editing movies, chatting, web surfing, graphics making, game playing, and maybe some other things. As you can see, I need a lot of space and also RAM, but I’m unsure which or how much would be best. If anyone familiar with Macs can help me, I’d really appreciate it. I’ll be going to college next fall, so I’ll need it for my major as well.

Please, if you are just going to try to change my mind about buying a Mac, then don’t answer. I know everyone has their opinion about PCs and Macs, but I’m not looking for opinions on both right now.

Thank you.
Also, not too expensive. Preferably ,500 US or under, but a bit more is okay. Just not something crazy, like ,700. I’m saving for college, so don’t want to spend too much.

I need these pc’s for a little cybercafe. I’m not looking for anything that runs Crysis, just your basic laptop..OK maybe a tad above basic. I want something that will do email, web surfing, IMing, but not at a dog-slow speed.
