"Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love" - Albus DumbledoreHi, I'm Laura. I'm a senior in college & I'm slowly deciding what I want to do with my life. I love Harry Potter, coffee, writing, and sleeping (amongst other things). I'll never claim to know everything, but I'm confident in my ability to help people with their problems. Feel free to send me an inbox question; I'll get back to you!
A few thoughts I've gathered from my teenage years (and being on this site for most of them!):
1. If you Google song lyrics, the song will come up 99% of the time.
2. Dress to fit your body type, and buy the size that fits. If you're a size 6, squeezing into a 4 won't make you look skinnier. It makes you look fat when you aren't.
3. You will never regret waiting to lose your virginity.
4. There is such a thing as a stupid question, but we're all allowed to ask them.

im getting a labtop for christmas for college..i know nothing about computers other than my current labtop is huge and the slowest thing ever. any suggestions on what kind? i dont want a clunker so sleek and fast? is apple good for that price? or any cheaper suggestions/what to look for in one
Dell laptops kind of suck - I know people who have them and all of them seem to have issues with them at some point or another. However, they have pretty good warranties from what I've heard - so, chances are, you'll have a problem, but it'll be fixed.
I have an HP laptop and absolutely love it; I've had zero problems with it for two years besides a battery life issue (but I had a warranty, so it wasn't a problem to fix it). Batteries are replaceable on PCs, so it wasn't a concern for me. I got an "entertainment" PC and it had a 15" screen, which somewhat big for carrying around all the time, but still portable (it's just kinda heavy). HP has a few 13" laptops that are quite slim, I'd say they look similar to a Macbook Pro because of streamlined edges. I'd definitely recommend HP if you want a PC.
As for Apple, you're paying for the name, slightly faster processors, and having a Mac operating system. It really depends on what programs you're going to use. Many common programs won't run on a Mac unless you install Windows too, but there are some programs that are exclusive to Mac, primarily in film editing.
So basically it comes down to how much money you want to spend. A PC will be cheaper & can be custom-made, while an Apple product will be more expensive, generally nicer looking, and have some program limitations. Also, Dell has a ton more color options, if that's important to you.
