Vin used to have a Dell in College that he loved.

We sold that one to a friend and got a Dell desktop which we also love!

Re: I'm researching laptops for School, which ones are the best

I have the same questions as Tom. Are you looking for something that just has bare bones maybe just internet for research and word for papers? or is there specific programs or such that you need?

Re: I'm researching laptops for School, which ones are the best

i have a toshiba and love it. I think most of them are comprable for what we need. i dont bring it to class or anything, but it is pretty sturdy and would probably be resilient enough. We got it because it was on sale and under $800 i believe. Its really fast, but all i really use it for is writing papers and internet stuff.

If you will be doing alot of design stuff becauseof the program youre in, maybe a mac would be better. I dont have any experience with it, but i know alot of graphicdesign people and mac seems to be the computer of choice for them.

But, also depending on what you'd need it for (designing stuff, etc...) would a laptop even be useful? I'm only asking because...i have photoshop on my desktop, and that's where i do all that stuff,,, but i havent gotten it on my laptop yet because i dont know that it would really be that convinient. I'm not really a fan of the finger-pad thingy and couldnt imagine being as precise as a manual mouse. Maybe people do it though and its not that bad.... i'm definitely curious to know before i invest in PS for that one too, but i just couldnt imagine it being as good for design, i guess?

Re: I'm researching laptops for School, which ones are the best

I have a Dell latitude that is easy to use. It's old, so it's slow. Pentium II...hee hee, Windows 98, but it got me through Grad school.

I know that PC Richards has a Dell for about $400 or $450.

Have you made a choice yet?

Contrary to popular belief, you can now run all MS Office programs on a Mac (not for free, like on a PC, you have to buy the program bundle for $150). You could even run windows on it, but why would you?
