mmmkay, so here's the deal:

i want a laptop for xmas from my mommy, i don't think it's going 2 happen, so i'm going 2 try 2 wear her down slowly anyways LOL and i'll even be willing 2 help her with payments, so basically i'm not really asking for the laptop, i'm asking for help with the laptop

now, i'm pretty pc savvy, but some things here i don't get well cuz, i'm a pc user, and not a mac, so this'll totally be something new 4 me, but i really wanna learn how 2 use a mac, cuz they just look soooo friggen awesome


so any kind of info you ppl know about the jibberjabber they're flashing, just lemme know here pweeeeesh...that way....i sound smartERRRR when i tell my mommy about how much i know


shpanks!



and if no one replies... . [heh.]

ok seriously.

what will you use the laptop for? If it's just basic stuff get the cheapest most simple one!

i just want that damn laptop!
nvm tho, no one else is posting so

Macs are easy to use, you'll pick it up quickly.

thanks

it just looks like tons of software
hope i'll be able 2 manage

the one you want is the cheapest one! The others are bigger.

but programs you use for graphics (like photoshop, illustrator, after effects, flash, etc) don't come with it. You have to get those seperately.

i know that...


i just want to know more about what it HAS...if anyone knows more about the stuff it comes with as i am NOT a mac user...help me out!

that's all.

I want a laptop too, but not a Mac.
I want atleast 80MG hard drive and the best processor I can get for under $1500.
Any suggestions?

so no one has ANY tips for me??

gotdamn it

Laptops are nice and all, but if you are serious about the graphics thing I'd recommed a tower with lotsa slots and ports if you're thinking of keeping it for a long time you may need to upgrade it several times in it's life. Get a third party monitor, big as you can afford.

You'll be able to get the software cheaper with student ID - they have educational bundles for people like you (lucky cow !!)

My bosses at my old work bought powerbooks a few years back which have been great for presentations at clients companies, but don't have the guts to do real work, they all bought new computers in a short time.

i just said graphics 2 avoid scruitiny actually
i want a lap top, it would be easier for me @ school because whenever i'm not home and need the pc lab, they're all full... so :shurg:


it's alright, i'll find my way around it.

Walmart offers an HP Laptop for less than 400 dollars on November 25th.

I have both an iBook and a Dell desktop. I primarily use the PC but the iBook is great for other shit, too. charlotte is right - check out your school website/bookstore. I know my old uni had deals with Dell and Apple so I got my iBook for about $200 cheaper (and my iPod for $50 cheaper). And macs are very user friendly - you just have to get used to it.

This is my humble opinion, but consider getting something more than a 12.1 inch screen. That's the size of my iBook and while that's ok because I don't use it all of the time, it would be easier if it was bigger - 14 or 16.

Before you buy, see if there's somewhere you can try out the laptop. An apple store perhaps?
