Laptop, Notebook...What kind is the best?

[Suki Wingy]

In my experience, If you want one pre set up, get a mac. If you want a cheap one, get a pc. I've had LOTS of problems with Dells in my family, just to let you know. It's kinda you get what you pay for.

Anna,

As I said, I have had no issues with Dell, some issues with IBM, however, I know people who have Toshibas and had no issues. Of course Mac's are great - and many of my friends have a PC and a Mac notebook

Personal preference really.
Have a look at some - the specs are around the same, but make sure you like the keyboard (quite right there Logan!)

I have a Dell Inspiron B130...I got it because it met the minimum requirements for school and was on sale at the time. I wouldn't recommend it though, lol. I've only had it for about 3 months and the backspace key fell/broke off this morning.
