<p>I’m a rising college Senior and majoring in Business. For almost four years, I’ve skirted the Business Division’s laptop requirement (I own a PC desktop instead) and have made do by borrowing others’ laptops and using the “loaner” laptops in each classroom. </p>
<p>Recently, after extensive – and in some respects, excessive – deliberation, I bought a Thinkpad T60 but soon after began having second thoughts about it. I have a track record of returning the majority of things I buy and have a major problem with making and sticking to decisions. </p>
<p>Basically, my question is this: should I return my Thinkpad T60 and get a Mac instead? Because of the time that has elapsed since my purchase of it, I’d be charged approximately 15% (or $200 or a $1500 purchase) if I wanted to return it. As far as my undergraduate career goes, I have one more laptop-intensive class and I’ve been told that a Mac would do fine, but ideally, my plan is to return my laptop, borrow a laptop for my last laptop intensive class and then buy a MacPro (desktop), the computer of my dreams.</p>
<p>I also plan on eventually attending graduate school (either MBA or Public Policy, or both) and wanted to know whether a laptop is a necessity; in other words, would returning my Thinkpad T60 be a mistake? Secondly, with respect to academcis and graduate school, do you prefer Macs or PCs and why?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
