so, a laptop for college
pip_helix:
just speaking in general - before buying a computer through the school, or anywhere else, find out about tech support. see if the school has any kind of special warranty and a loaner program, should something happen.
i'm not a mac user, so i don't really have any suggestions there. i've got a dell, and i really don't recommend it.
will: wanton sex god:
thanks for the help thusfar.
any additional would be so great :)
salada:
yeah. dells might be cheap, but they're really not good for anything much at all. they're poorly designed, made using low-quality components, and usually targeted at people who don't know better (or just want a cheap machine).
i'm also a mac person, so i'd go with the ibook as well. one of the bonuses that you get with the 14-in screen is a slight processor speed bump (1.2 ghz to 1.33ghz). and since both are fairly small, portability doesnt really come into play here. i mean, it's not as if you're buying a 17in powerbook (you don't however, get a higher resolution display to go with the bigger size. both 1024x768).
another difference: the 12-inch model comes with a 30gb HD as standard, whereas the 14-inch comes with a 60gb HD as the minimum. i have a fair bit of music, so i need a bit extra space, but i don't game much, so not that much extra. depends how much of a data pimp you are i suppose.
'ts about all i've got.
