So thinking about getting a laptop for school, budget is around 1.5k just need it for school nothing special, maybe play a few games here and there. Thinking of getting an apple laptop?
Thoughts?

Apple is the best for school and work! it sucks with games but if your not a gamer then go with the mac!

I'm not gonna be doing any extreme gaming, just a little HON here and there but thats about it.
So you don't recommend do ya? Hmmm

[Joe G]

Mac FTW! i wish i had gotten one from the start. Dells/windows is garbage.

[Kershaw]

i run nothing but apple laptops.

but my desktops are all windows.

[george graves]

and here we go............these threads all then up into a cluster fuck of people fighting about PC and mac, and then one nerd show up late to the party and says ubuntu/mint/wine.

The PC guys will tell you the Mac guys don't really get anything done, and the Mac guys will want to show off how much they spent on their laptop.

/end thread.

Lol kk!

So let's just hear from MAC only!

[pureaudio]

There all computers, they all do the same things now, is there anything specific about the Mac that you need?

[phreshkid]

MacBook pro and run dual OS? Mac for all the cool stuff, and pc for all the Microsoft office stuff. That's my plan anyways.

[Vince30]

I think macs are to much for what they do, but PCs seem to run into problems oftem. I hate Dells and HPs are decent at best. favorite laptop I ever owned was an acer, had it 5 years, upgraded the ram and it never slowed down.

[MaxBell]

I work at an Apple Store, so I'm a little biased, but I think for what 90% of what people do with computer (check email, Facebook, make Word docs, look at porn, check R3V) is totally covered.

For the <10% of the population who are coding their own scripts for looking at porn, checking R3V, etc, then you can install Windows 7 through BootCamp.

The new 15" MacBook Pro specs are out of control. If you can spend the money, get a base model, or even midrange 15".

[j0oftheworld]

You can get a hellava windows laptop for 15 hunny..

[SedanSandwich]

Buy a Windows laptop and dual boot with hackintosh... best of both worlds at a fraction of the cost of a mac.

check with your school -- they can often offer laptops with software packages and support for very cheap.
