which laptop?
GirlwithaGun:
I've also been searching around for a laptop.
How are macbooks inferior? I got the impression that they were top notch, if you don't mind the whole Mac OS...
Jenno:
Keep in mind that as a (soon to be) tertiary student, you qualify for a discount on Apple stuff (I think it's 10%?) although you'll have to buy from the online store (go through the education section of apple.com to get to the education store) or an education specific retailer. I don't know if Dell offers this...

thats the point...if you don't need a mac, there is (or was for you die-hard mac fans, I know things are changing :roll:) little point in getting one.
AFAIK Dell don't do student discount.
Dimmukane:
check and see if your college offers something. They'll sometimes set up laptops and computers with the required specifications for a major, and sell them for 300$ US less than a retailer would. and whatever you do, don't get one with an ATI chip inside. My drivers kept on randomly failing, switched to Omega drivers, not much different.

I'd recommend a Dell Inspiron. I own one and I've serviced* a few of them, and they're pretty damn nice machines for the price. Just make sure that you reformat and reinstall as soon as you get it, and you're golden.
*Serviced a whole pile of PBKAC errors, not issues with the computers. The only hardware problem I had to fix was a guy who's cat shredded his screen.
