Get a mac you wont have to worry about anything going wrong with it and it will last you over 3 years easily without it slowing up on you. Mine is 3 years old and it dose not owe me a thing.

Same here for me I will be getting one next month. There easy to use and very nice never have to worry about viruses and all and you can run microsoft office if you want to. But I prefer the program that comes with mac. Also my frined showed my how to burn dvd's on it it is as simple as burning and ripping with a windows computer.

Well to be honest I think macs are the only ones with back lit keyboards. Also you could buy one used. LOL

I think some of the dells and Lenovo's have backlit option.

My Dad had a d620ATG and it was a beast.

The 6400 version seems cool

Not busting in them but I work on computers for a living and I see more and more dells coming in. It seams that the quality is getting poorer and poorer.

Bought my dell BNIB w/ multiple programs for $550 and haven't had a single issue with it in 2+ years now. For a low mid line laptop i don't think there is much better.

I love the bold text:laugh: I have to second the thing about dells being crappy. They come loaded with junk and are slow as soon as you get them. Also there not reliable I know a friend that has had to return his 4 times because of hard drive failure and motherboard fried.

Clearly evident from the thousands of refurbs they sell on their website ...
