Re: What's the Best Laptop


Depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to learn a lot about
how to maintain a computer and keep it running, any Windows PC will do.
If you want to use the computer to help you get your work done, get a
Mac. Or a Linux box, but the Mac has a nicer interface.

I notice that a lot of programs to install will say, "Windows 2000/XP
or higher." I've never paid attention to much else. Will I be able
to install the same programs on a Mac that I have been able to use on
Windows?
