Reccamend A Laptop
Reccamend A Laptop
I am going to college in the fall to major in Audio For Visual Media, at Columbia College in Chicago. What would be the best laptop for me? Order and customize a dell, or get an Apple Mac Book Pro, or even something else. Thanks for any help.

The new MacBooks have Intel chips and boot to Windows XP if you need. I think that offers the most versatility. One thing you may consider and I usually advise friends when purchasing a computer is to wait until you truly need it. By fall and without fail the computers (dell or apple) will all be sporting improved core duo version 2 chips and surely some incremental upgrades. If you can hold out that long, I know the excitement of wanting that new computer NOW!

Every computer company will be introducing new machines with improved chips. As a rule of thumb, I avoid buying a Rev 1 anything, but the Apples look pretty nice.
Consider what software you are going to use, as which machine is best with that software. Also bear in mind the increased security of an Apple, and the bundled software when comparing costs.

Get an Intel Mac! The dual boot thing has basically now made it so I'll never, ever buy a Wintel-only machine ever again. Yay!
(Have my beloved Mac OS and my needed from time to time Windows, too..! With fewer machines all over the house and studio. It's rediculous, actually.)
