Laptop Notebook Computers
I am a student and I do not feel knowledgeable about laptop notebook computers. I want to buy one that can last for a couple of years, yet price is a big concern. After doing plenty of research about laptops, I feel completely clueless. Do you think you can recommend a laptop with the following information?
1. I will not use my laptop every day.
2. I will write many papers/presentations with it, and that is the main purpose of the purchase. Therefore, I would like a one that allows papers to be easily transferred to other computers and has good tools for academic projects.
3. I will use the internet with the laptop and that's very important because the classes I am enrolled in often post things online and I have to turn documents in online.
4. I hopefully will have an iTunes account on it.
Those are the four criteria. The MacBook is really quite expensive for me, but do you think it would be better to buy high or just buy low due to my needs. I probably will never make songs and videos on it. Thanks for your help and consideration. It is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

If you know you won't be using it everyday and money is a big issue, then if I were you I'd buy according to my money.
Macs are great but not for everyone. They're mostly for designers or people who will utilize the design programs. In your case you shouldn't get it. They're trendy and look cool and all, but don't spend your last dime if you won't be using it like that. Like you said, you won't be doing any projects like that on it besides your basic essay or powerpoint. Plus, macs don't always convert well to other PC's.
I highly advise against Dell. DO NOT GET A DELL LAPTOP! Their desktops are great, but everyone I know who had a Dell laptop has had problems with it. My sister's laptop basically became a vegetable after one year. It couldn't be fixed so she had to get a new one.
Personally, I have an HP and it's wonderful. I bought mine from Costco for a really good price.
You should check out Wal-Mart, Costco or Sam's Club if you want good quality electronics at an affordable price (lol I sound like I work there but I don't). They have the same new, brand name computers that places like Office Depot has, but these ones are cheaper.
You can also buy your laptop through your school. My college gave me a discount, but you had like two computers to choose from.
It's also a good thing to go to the store first and write down the models you like, then look up the reviews on [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) when you get home.
Good luck!
