Choosing a computer for college? Mac or PC?

<p>The thread really irks me, Desktops aren’t a slight improvement in performance over laptops, they simply blow laptops out of the water(especially dollar for dollar). Laptops also have poor reliability in contrast to desktop systems</p>

<p>If anything laptops are merely sufficient for basic tasks. But as it has been said nothing beats a Desktop+Netbook(or laptop) combo for a college student who needs a powerful system to fall back on.</p>
