Once you go Mac, you don't go back.

I'd beg to differ.
My mom got me a Mac and I absolutely dread it.  
No right click FTL.  

Imma buy a Vaio in a couple months...for now I'm stuck with this mac =/


No right click? Get a new mouse.

i would have to agree with getting something you already know something about. get one with the best performance but for lower cost (not mac) and also look at it this way if you get the low specs for the computer then you'll have to upgrade soon

so im going off to college soon and i need a laptop. i was thinking about getting a mac, but im worried about the adjustment of a whole new computer. but i really like all the features because my friend was showing me yesterday what her mac can do.  

i like pc's because im familiar with them, but the mac seems so much better. do u think i could make the transition to a mac without completely regretting it once im in college all by myself?


Don't recomend the mac then. However, if it's a choice between mac and a laptop with Vista, go with Mac.

Best choice would be a good laptop with Windows XP on it.

You can save yourself further money by using OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office.

well it really depends...

a normal laptop is normally cheaper than a mac and it really depends what you want to do with it..

like if your only going to use like word etc then just get a cheap laptop..
