I now that apple can get pricey but they do work great. IBM (or Lenovo) are not as expensive and i have not heard about any problems. The school gave some R series laptops to the "Special Needs" students. for me I would go more IBM then apple because I'm more of the windows guy.

EDIT: BTW
Oh yeah.

I perosnaly am in to the high powered laptops. They cost alot but you also get alot of computing power.

I used to go with Alienware, witch makes very good qaulity laptops but is falling beheind in having the newest tehcnogly.

My lastlap top was from Eurocom. They have some of the most up to date hardware that you can not even find in laptops in most places. For example my new laptop is a intel quad core cpu when most stores are still selling duel cores. There laptops do not look as cool as alineware and are more blukly but they are fully upgradable.


If you are looking for most a cheaper model for just taking notes and surfing the web, i recomend hp laptops. They have some tablet laptops for in the $1000-1500 range that are packed with featuers and great for class.

MacBooks can run Windows.

Momop! I haven't talked to you for a while! How thing's going?

Which laptop screen size should I choose -- 15 inch screen, or 17 inch screen?

If battery life matters and you want something that will not kill your back, choose a 15" or smaller screen. A 17" screen would be good for a desktop replacement laptop, nothing else.

If you plan to take it to classes, in which case you'll be moving around a lot, think more between 12.1 and 14.1 inches.

If you like watching dvds or playing games on your laptop a 17" could be helpfull, but if this laptop is just for note taking then 15" is fine. the 17" can add alot of size, weight and cost to your laptop so it may not be a good idea unless you are going to use it.

Edit: it can also be hard to see over a 17" depending on how your clases are set up so it may not be the best option if your class rooms are very crowed and you have to look down on the prof since they use elviated seating. I guses it whould also matter how high up there tables are and how tall you are.
