I am thinking about purchasing a laptop before I start classes Oct 22 and I thinking PC??? Then someone suggested the MACs. I know nothing about them nor can I find anyone clase by with one.

Thanks in advance or your comments.

What do you like about the system you are using?

I'm a mac head, but I'm not sure why you are using the computer. I guess we need more info. If it's for general school work and you've never used a mac before, I'd recommend windows. If you plan to do something fun/creative, like music writing or graphic design, etc. Then, I'd recommend a mac. The macbook pros are just awesome.

Good luck

Richard.

I love Mac and and very anti-windows(to many problems). Promised my self I would never own a PC again. But, just recently I had to take statistics online and I checked with the school for tech requirements and the Mac was OK, but the CD that came with the text book only used windows. So its not always easierusing the alternative. I would say stick with PC just to be sure with school. You can always get a Mac with the new money your making:)

Owning a Windows-based computer is sort of like owning a British sportscar. You'd better have a good set of tools and like tinkering with it to get it to work.

Personally, after a long time of Windows usage I finally made the switch to the Mac. I will never, ever go back. It simply works better, and the main reason is that everything is MADE to work together instead of each component being made by different companies. The newer Macs can even run Windows programs. How cool is that?

I had a problem with my laptop and made an appointment (online) for service at the local Apple Store. I showed up at the designated time and was seen immediately (no waiting in line). The person quickly identified the problem and shipped the computer away for repair. Two days later, it was delivered to my home by UPS repaired, free of charge, and they even updated the operating system to the latest version. Try getting that from BestBuy and the Geek Squad!! LOL
