<p>I’m going into ILR with a minor in business. What do you think I should get that would be good for those types of classes. Right now, it’s between those two computers. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!</p>
<p>One word: Apple</p>
<p>one word: Sony</p>
<p>many words: many ilr classes dont even allow laptops. it’s up to the professor. get what you want. it’s not about brand. it’s about what you want. SIGH</p>
<p>Having used both Macs and PCs, I’d recommend getting the Macbook Pro. The new editions of the MBP (released this past week) are more powerful and aesthetically pleasing than ever, not to mention more durable (both in terms of power and physical rigidity). Perhaps one important point that should lay your question to rest is that Macs (via Bootcamp) can run any version of Windows and therefore, any Windows applications your classes might require, as well as that Sony could. As a PC user at the present, I am not biased towards Macs in particular, but if I were shopping for a notebook at the moment, the Macbook Pro simply wins hands-down. I’m considering getting one when I start at Cornell.</p>

Really? 10char</p>
<p>What do you mean? We can’t use our laptop to take notes during class?</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m not sure what I really want. I’ve used Macs in the past, but I like PCs too.</p>
<p>it is up to the professor whether or not to allow laptop usage during class…</p>
<p>they know that you’ll be facebooking and IMing…</p>
<p>i wouldn’t worry about taking your computer to class(es). generally, it doesn’t provide any advantage or ease. the school-related uses for computers are assignments, blackboard, email, etc. and will be mostly utilized outside of class. </p>
<p>im personally saving up for a quad-core HP. can’t wait til i hit the mark.</p>
