As usual, I find that we agree, my boyf has an AppleMac and when I first used it I couldn't get to grips with it at all, I was saying how shit it was and that he had to get a PC if only for my sanity. But I've gotten used to it; he had it basically for his Graphic design because, as Lana said, it runs much better and also looks better.
If you're getting a laptop just for college I'd say get a PC, it's geared towards offices and that sort of work environment, and the net works just as well on either depending on your connection. Mac's are generally for most types of multimedia such as music and graphics so they'd be better for more specific aspects. AND Windows is compatible with most programs 😊

^well, that's just it....I WILL be doing lots of editing....seeing as I will be studying film and television, and graphic design at college😛
So yeah, lots of visual arts...but then again, the college has lots of Pcs to use there, for editing or whatever, but I still would like one of my own, a laptop for off-campus work and such...
I just am really hating windows at the moment because It's given me sooo much trouble, crashing all the time and stuff, and I've heard good things about macs...

it crashes too often...god forbid should you get a 'memory error'...
i've a pc for most things...but use a mac for photoshop and mediastudio
I have Photoshop CS on my PC at home and I took a Digital Media Arts class for Photoshop CS using a Mac.
I honestly cannot understand one reason why people would think a Mac is better for Photoshop than a PC.
If your computer keeps crashing.....learn to take better care of it. The only time I've had problems with my PC is when my brother used to go on porn downloading streaks using KaZaa. Aside from that, my comp would ruin every Mac short of a G5.
Laptops are different. I'd prefer to never buy one of those.

Link^I've never used 'Photoshop' but many of my other photo editing, and video editing software have not run as well as I would like them too...
And seeing as I'm going to have to depend on this PC alot in college, I need something that is RELIABLE, for the purposes I need it for: Video and graphics...
I never really bought into the whole MAC vs PC thing. Both have there pros and cons (and what about UNIX eh?). When I started University and needed a new computer system I went PC as it had a versatility that suited what I was doing, a more developed "market" with easier access, and well, games.
It has served perfectly, and to be honest I have never had a problem with crashes at all, other then a year ago when it got a virus. Other then that it runs perfectly. Same with my Laptop.
