I am a pre-nursing student and I am in the market for a new laptop. What brand would you recommend and why? I have heard Apple is good but I want to know if there is something better and I am don't know much about computers. Please Help!!

I have an HP. I've had to return it a few times for repairs, but it was in warranty. It's just an inconvenience. I've heard a lot of good stuff about the new Mac's, and if I could adjust from Windows, I wouldn't mind trying it. If you haven't used a computer much, than I'd go with a Mac, on the other hand, if you're used to Windows, I'd go with a Dell, or maybe you'd have better luck with an HP. Jeremy

I visited my nearest apple store last week and was told that they have Microsoft software for the Mac. If you buy the kit ($150.00) it includes word, excel, and powerpoint OR you can buy the only word for around 300.00..lol

Dell is .... well hard to explain. My DH has a Dell computer and I don't like it. It takes over the whole computer system. It's on everything. So just for that reason I wouldn't go with Dell. I just don't understand it but maybe it works for others. JMHO and I'm no computer expert so maybe my opinion isn't worth a darn.

Depends what you want with a laptop. I have an ACER and have absolutely no problems with it and if fulfils all I require
