-- Posted by look over here at 12:46 pm on July 10, 2008 My parents will be getting me one for a grad present, and right now I'm leaning towards a Macbook or Macbook Pro unless anyone can convince me otherwise. -- Posted by uwastedmyheart at 12:47 pm on July 10, 2008 Macbook Pro. -- Posted by runthespread at 12:47 pm on July 10, 2008 depends what you're using it for. a macbook is definitely good enough, the pro would be recommended if you're heavy on graphics and video. -- Posted by Cunning Stunt at 12:47 pm on July 10, 2008 Macs suck. -- Posted by 2kewl4u2know at 12:48 pm on July 10, 2008 I have to get a Mac.  But, I heard Dell is pretty good, especially if you're looking for a gaming laptop. -- Posted by alastrxxna at 12:48 pm on July 10, 2008 Either one is really great. I like Macbook Pro better, even though I'm getting a Macbook soon. -- Posted by aGIRLunknown at 12:49 pm on July 10, 2008 I would go with the pro -- Posted by Soren Kierkegaard at 12:49 pm on July 10, 2008 Something simple from Dell is sufficient for college.  If you want to do gaming, PC is the way to go rather than laptop, because PC is incredibly easy to upgrade graphics, memory, etc. etc. compared to a laptop. -- Posted by FarahTUnisia at 12:49 pm on July 10, 2008 toshiba hands down ! it's the best -- Posted by jennay at 12:50 pm on July 10, 2008 whatever you do, make sure to get insurance with your school -- Posted by DemolitionxXxLover at 1:02 pm on July 10, 2008 don't get a mac! get an extensa 4620z. i have one and i love it! -- Posted by HatesYou at 5:41 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from Soren Kierkegaard at 3:49 pm on July 10, 2008 Something simple from Dell is sufficient for college.

Yah but how simple will it be to carry a PC around... -- Posted by Soren Kierkegaard at 5:56 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from HatesYou at 5:41 pm on July 10, 2008 Quote: from Soren Kierkegaard at 3:49 pm on July 10, 2008 Something simple from Dell is sufficient for college.  If you want to do gaming, PC is the way to go rather than laptop, because PC is incredibly easy to upgrade graphics, memory, etc. etc. compared to a laptop. Yah but how simple will it be to carry a PC around... Its easier to carry around a PC compared to upgrading a graphics card, increasing drive space, or increasing overall RAM capacity on a laptop.  It doesn't hurt to buy a cheap laptop for classwork while having a feasible PC for your entertainment needs along with using an HDTV 720 or 1080p television for your computer monitor, as well. -- Posted by kslice24 at 12:34 am on July 11, 2008 I love my MacBook -- Posted by Whitelighter at 6:38 pm on July 15, 2008 MacBooks are pretty awesome. I'm typing on it right now. You might want to check if your college has specific requirements before getting a laptop, though. There are some schools that are going to give you a laptop, too. Just saying. -- Posted by TigressaLynnMae at 7:21 pm on July 15, 2008 Avoid Macs, at all costs. Stick with HPs or Acer. And...avoid Dell, too. -- Posted by jonny5 at 11:12 pm on July 20, 2008 I got a Dell XPS... -- Posted by badgeriii at 9:38 am on Aug. 13, 2008 get a macbook pro, i'm going to be a freshman and I have one. They are by far the most reliable laptops and you don't have to deal with all of the viruses and blue screens of death, etc. And don't pay attention to all the people who say "oh Macs Suck" because they are the ones who havent used one... or at least one of the new intel macs. I had to deal with people who said that daily when I worked for Best Buy selling computers and I would eventually convince them that Macs are easily better than all other laptops. People are scared of change.
