I need a laptop
So, i need a laptop. UMD has deals with apple and Dell. They have dell latitude laptops and all apple products that we can get deals on (which i hardly call a deal). I can get another company but if I stick with the suggested ones there will be lots of students with the same computer and the school offers support so if i need help i can find it. I like the apples and now that I can get windows on it I am liking it more. The macbook pro looks good because we can download windows to it.
If I get a macbook pro what will I need to do to have windows running on it and also do i need to get microsoft office for both the mac and the PC part of the laptop? How much will all that software cost? What is the main differences b/w a mac and PC? I know nothing about computers and I know some people here do. Are there any other laptops you suggest? I am thinking price might be an issue but the apple is expensive. I think some other family members will be giving it to me as a gift so i could go higher if it is better.
What do i need to do specifically to get my super computer with windows and mac running together with all the good word and powerpoint stuff going?? Are there anyother intel based macs comming out soon? Should I wait? I like the size of the macbook pro but what do you all suggest in terms of size. When should I buy my computer? I don't really need it until the August but I guess I should start looking and if I get one over the summer it might be helpful because I am taking some classes and I might get used to it.
Thanks
I'll probably bump this monday morning when all the working types take time off during the time they should be working to check out the warpath.
