PC Laptop Advice Needed

College Life

<p>So I was planning to get an Apple iBook but I’m just sick and tired of this delay. God knows when we’ll see an update. I’ve decided for the time being that I’ll purchase a PC laptop to last me through the transition of Apple from PPC to Intel. I’m not too familiar w/ the brand of laptops so I was just wondering which ones I should consider. I’ve heard that IBM makes decent notebooks. </p>

<p>What other brands would you recommend? I’m not a power user, I wont be using it for anything intense…All i want is a quality notebook that will last me a good 2-3 years. Thanks</p>

<p>Dont worry about the apple delays on the switch (its not a delay at all, it isnt supposed to have happened yet). If you want the mac, by all means GO FOR IT! It isnt going to go obsolete any faster than a PC laptop and OSX rocks.</p>

<p>If you are going to go PC, Get IBM (or maybe toshiba) because they are the only ones who really compare to apple’s build quality. Stay away from Dell.</p>
