what should I buy between Toshiba Satellite U205-S5034 Notebook and apple Macbook (core2 duo 2.0Ghz?

Question

I'm a student and want something that is reasonable for me.

Answer 1

You will be touching on the ages (ok at least 25 yrs) old question of what is better, an Apple or a Windows PC?

Without falling into that trap, I would suggest that you make a list of what you plan to do with the laptop. Since you are a student, I would say:

1) Prepare book reports and other documents
2) Keep schedules and appointments
3) Use it to do research for homework on the internet
4) Listen to MP3s between classes
5) Watch movies or use MySpace.

Now you should decide what software you will need to use to do these things. Once you do that, figure out how much that will cost. Being a student with probably a limited budget, you will then want to buy the less expensive package, factoring in both the laptop itself and the hardware.

If money is not an issue, then go with the one that has more options, more gadgets, or the larger hard disk and memory.

Answer 2

I'm normally a windows user but I can tell you this...from working 6 years in tech support for an internet company...I get WAY less calls about macs then I do about windows. Macs have a much much much much less chance of getting viruses and spyware and they tend to be better built. So I would go with the Mac.

Answer 3

Toshiba Satellite! Macs are overrated.

Answer 4

The guy that said "Macs are overrated" has no idea what he's talking about. Get the MacBook, you'll have the advantage using OS X, the worlds best operating system, plus if you need to, you can always load Windows onto it if needed.

Answer 5

Get what you like best, its a matter of personal preference.
The mac fanboys here are quite annoying....
