| MacBook (with student discount). Very fast Intel Core Duo processors, more secure, more advanced operating system, only computer able to run windows and mac os x, integrated iLife software not available for windows, easier to configure peripherals (just plug them in), MS/Office 2004 Mac student version better than current windows version, nicer looking. But of course, this is my opinion, others will have theirs. (Add more memory to at least 1 GB.)
One can purchase a cheaper Dell, but one similarly configured is about the same price. |
