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?

I haven't had a Mac for a long, long time. I don't remember having much trouble adjusting from a Mac to a PC, so I guess the the transition is easy. I also got my new computer (a Toshiba) for college. I got the computer, the full version of Microsoft word, the fifteen months of Norton Anti-Virus, and two years warrenty for just less than nine hundred and fifty dollars. If you're tight for money, I'd definitely go with a PC. They work fine for the purpose you want and they cost much less.

I considered getting a Mac. But knowing the price, the fact that I'd have to buy extra software to play my old games, and knowing that just in general you need accesories and softwares made specifically for Mac (which would cost me even more money since we have a PC-compatible printer) I decided to go with a PC instead. Plus, there are no Mac stores nearby, so I'd have to make a trip or spend even more money on shipping and handling.

I don't know about how delicate the parts are either. I know tried to open my laptop with one hand and the whole front lifted up then dropped an inch or two back onto the table and it didn't effected my computer in the least - I did that three times because I can't seem to learn my lesson. So I know that Toshiba can take a little abuse at least.

But, like I said, I haven't used a Mac in ages and can't really compare.
