I've heard Macs are better... Options

[Oscar]

Well, I NEED a new laptop! The one I have is a PC and I had a horrible experience with it.
But still, PCs are cheaper, but are they better? I'm kinda leaning towards a Mac, though.
Oh, I don't use 'em for gaming! Lolz.

What should I get?

Well lets think about it Oscar. IF you are going to college and this is why you are buying a laptop, I would definitely go with a mac. Firstly, macs are immune to viruses which really helps save your privacy and allows faster work in some cases. Secondly, the main reason to buy a PC is more applications can work with it, mainly games. All of the microsoft office applications are useable on a mac. You can also do that deal where you buy a mac and get an iPod. Personally I think a mac would be better for college, but its ultimately your choice. Like Katie said, in conjunction with aim or skype you can use the built in camera on the mac to chat with family and friends while away. Again like Katie said, Mac accessories can be very expensive BUT they tend to have a longer durability than PC components, again because Macs don't get viruses.

Again, its your choice.
