Just dont buy a Dell, my girlfriends dell shit the bed almost on the exact day her warranty expired. She hates that computer with a passion. I've had an HP for a few years now, it has served me well, altho Im not really the guy to ask because i pretty much just use my laptop for the internet.

Such as....?
If you are a gamer then a Mac is not for you...but what other type of software do you have?
I agree I use a Dell now and it sucks. I did have a HP and it worked well untill the screen died. I know that Dell bought out Alienware. I have had Dell,HP,Gateway.IBM Dell was the worst out of them.
My Budget is 900$ or less

The ability to operate a computer....A Mac operates itself. I like to be at the controls... It's like a kid proof computer. I don't need to ask my PC to eject a CD or do other basic operations....and the mouse has one button.
Although, the last time I've had any serious time on a Mac was the late 90's...the private school I went to was all about Macs. I would have to physically turn them off by the switch at least every third time I'd get on one.
Maybe you're right, but why wouldn't they run under a 64 bit windows install?
And anyhow, you're talking about a real small niche product. I could say the same thing about certain areas where macs fully dominate, such as the pro music scene.
The overwhelming majority of people use their computers for the internet, music, movies etc. The average person doesn't even need a whole lot of power as they're not rendering huge files or even creating stuff with their machine.

Sure I can understand that, but I am a video editing guy so a mac was the obvious choice.
You can plug any mouse you want into it, even one with 10 buttons.
And a laptop doesn't come with any mouse. It has a trackpad.

That is theeeee most a mac will do though, they have built up an ok video system I will agree. Still can do it with a pc to....
And I am a music guy, so mac is the extremely obvious choice.

I never said the average Joe couldn’t use a Mac. I just was saying why their inferior. Not that I don’t have an I phone. Again I am not using AutoCAD on my phone so it can handle my phone needs.
It won't the windows emulator is a slow slow joke.... it's just there to say it can
