I have been toying with the idea of purchasing a laptop sometime in the near future. Now keep in mind I am a creature of habit I don't like to step out of my comfort zone and have always used a PC. I know Macs seem to be all the rage as of late but really are they that much better???



I asked a computer nerd friend of mine a while back and he said either would be fine.....thanks for the sound advice! Did I mention that I am the most indecisive person on the face of the earth?? Well I am and trying to decide on anything for me can be a rather punishing task.



I don't know much about Macs at all....I've used them at friends houses and they seem alright. I know that there are certain features that don't necessarily work well or at all with other computers. My friend has a Mac and his web cam isn't compatible with MSN or something like that....peanuts in the grand scheme of things but annoying nonetheless. I would prefer that everything works now just as it always has new computer or not.



So first thing to get out of the way, should I purchase a Mac or a PC?



If I go the PC route there are a million different brands to choose from. Now I've always been a Dell girl and have never had an issue with any of my computers. It also gives me some comfort to see their logos well everywhere, my bank uses them, my college used them......they seem to be good and reliable. That being said I'm not opposed to trying something new....perhaps cheaper!! My friend bought an Acer on sale and loves it, another has an HP Pavilion and loves it.



Advice....I need advice! So any computer savvy folk out there your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a million!
