I am starting college in the Fall and I am in need a laptop I am pretty sure of what I want but I am having trouble finding a company I like ... and whether I should buy a Tablet PC or a traditional laptop ( I am looking for other companies like sager and what not)
Hey, I just bought a laptop from www.istnc.com and so far they have been a billion times better than Dell ever could imagine. Also their live chat is very resourcefull...go check them out-their a very good company.
I have to say - Go apple. I don't mind getting flamed for it a little bit, but it's the best choice. For when you need windows - run windows. For when you don't need windows, run mac os. When I'm doing some software dev, (like now,) I run windows. The rest of the time, I have a stable secure operating system that doesn't crash, doesn't get adware, and doesn't get viruses. If money is a concern, they have really great student discounts and bit tech has a pretty strong mac community.
as for the Apples, their great, but unfortunetly ill stay true to the PC and say go for these: Alienware Gateway Hp Ibuypower.com Cyberpowerpc.com VooDoo Falcon-NW Acer Toshiba Winbook and the unworthy Dell... although idk what your price range is, but Falcon-NW is my favor wish site of all. Also the new dell XPS laptop is really crazy like, the comes apart and has a wire keyboard def. good for looks other hten the Dell symbol on it.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/bootcamp.html Ever since Apple switched to Intel procs you can run Windows native with Bootcamp. You just partition your hard drive with OS X on one partition and windows on the other. Also, there is a virtualization software out there called parallels that I've heard really good things about.
