Games? Graphics? Animation? Movies?

Note taking/ surfing the internet?

Music?

well, first of all, for college in general. so i guess internet to research, programs to write up essays, enjoy ilfe--music, instant messanger, etc... i dont know, nothing specific really.

budget.... my parents havent specified.

im choosing between dell and apple because those are the only 2 types that my college system offers... like if i buy a computer through this system, ill automaticaly be connected to my college network system and ill have 4 year warranty with all these other services by my college... that's why im choosing between a dell and an apple..

Then Dell would probably be good, but if you are going into the arts an apple would be better.

Dells are good affordable computers. Just dont get the cheapest one they have, theyre crap. Get somethign around $600+. Apples are very good, but quite expensive, so if you are on a budget, I dont reccomend you get one.

I've heard that Dell aren't very good with customer services and stuff. I have never owned one so I can't be sure about that.

Are you looking for a laptop?

Seriously. I'm not just saying this. And I don't want to put you off or anything (actually I do) but laptops are shit! I've had nothing but trouble since 5 minutes after I got mine. And lots of other people I know have said the same. I'd really advise you not to. If you do though make sure it's quite expensive because the cheaper they are, the crapper.
