Buying Your First Laptop

Buying your first laptop can be a stressful time because there are so many options to choose from. First of all, you need to decide what kind of laptop it is that you need. Are you a student that will be using the computer for basic word processing and internet browsing? Are you a web developer that will be using much processor power for video and pictures? All these things need to go into consideration when purchasing your laptop.

Many people will agree that Macs are better for media rich applications such as Photoshop and Flash. Macs have been know to be excellent for those who need fast processing power for video. If you are editing videos more that 50% of the time, I would have to say that the majority of you will be using Macs. Mac repair is a more specialized field so you also need to take this into consideration when purchasing a new computer

On the other hand, if you just need a computer for basic browsing and word processing, a Mac might be overkill. A PC will do the job great!

There days both platforms are highly compatible. It comes down to preference. If you like the Mac OS, you should stick with a Mac. If you like the Windows OS, then stick with a PC.

Macs tend to be pricier than PCs.

These days, bottom of the line computers will be more that plenty fast for basic computing. if you need anything faster, buy the fastest computer that you can afford. It is always better to have too much power then not enough when dealing with processor hogging applications.

I am not biased towards either platform - I use both. They each have their benefits. Buy what you can afford and keep an eye out for those deals.
