Getting a laptop...
Ok. I'm getting a laptop soon. I definitely won't be getting the most expensive one out there, but i wanted to know (i have no idea where to look or find out) which is better, mac or a PC? which brand of PC is generally better? You don't have to be specific with speed and stuff, memory and functionality are mainly what i'm looking for.
Thanks =)

Very few Windows programs will work on a Mac, and vice-versa.
I recommend a PC because:
-PC experience is more valuable
-There are many, many more programs for Windows
-It's easier to fix a PC when something goes wrong with it. When bad things happen to your Mac(and they will), you will not be able to fix it yourself.
For a PC, get these specs:
-1.6-2.0GHz dual-core OR 2.6-3.4GHz single-core
-1-2GB RAM for Windows XP OR 2-3GB RAM for Windows Vista
-80-150GB Storage
-No graphics card
-No sound card
Most computers on the market will be slightly less than those specifications, but if you want a comfortably fast computer that will last a while, that's what you want.
Brand doesn't matter. At all. Just ignore the brand name entirely.

Well Mac's are obviously more expensive, but good too.
If you want a pc, you get something simpler, maybe not as stylish though.
I personally prefer PC's (and I've had two mac's and two PC's)
For PC's I'd suggest
Sony Vaio(can get pricey though)
Acer
HP
Asus

Mac's are definitely better. They are much safer, virus wise, and even thought it may take some getting used to if you use a Windows OS right now, they are more user-friendly. Things are more neatly organized and accessible on Mac's. But, they are a LOT more expensive.
As far as PC's go, I wouldn't get a Dell. I have one, and I've had constant trouble with it. Maybe it's just my make/model or something, but others have told me theirs aren't very dependable either. But I don't have experience with any other brands, so I couldn't tell you what's better, haha. Sorry. Hope I helped some, though.

Ok, I'm going to tell you, first off; Buy a laptop after christmas. That's when they start selling them cheap to get ready for the new shipments and stuff :] I got a great deal. I would reccommend a pc, an hp one. From what I hear, Mac's are better, but more confusing to use, and pc's are easier to use but not as good. Goodluck!
