I am thinking of purchasing a laptop for graduate classes. Any suggestions? Do's? Don'ts? How powerful, yet lightweight can one be?

I am wondering, based on previous experience, about dvds that come with textbooks. So far, all the ones I have needed are for pc.

I prefer the kind that is resistant to spills, rain and such.

Definitely get a Mac. They are more user friendly than Windows computers. For instance, instead of having to install a bunch of things for a new printer, you just plug the new printer in. Macs are smart and do the hard stuff on their own. They also don't get viruses. Macs cost more, but they are well worth the investment. I am not a computer nerd by any means. I am actually in graduate school too and just had to take the plunge to buy a new computer. I chose a Mac. They are the best.

Request: Buying a Laptop

Archived on 08/12/2009

I'm buying two laptop computers for my nephews who are attending technical school. They are disadvantaged, parents very poor, poorer than I am. Where can I find a good laptop or two for cheap?

My friend said they need a 1GB memory and 100GB hard drive with Ether net, to access the internet via high speed cable. They will be downloading a lot of stuff for school. Help, I need them as soon as possible, are there any programs out there for disadvantaged teens who are trying to break the poverty cycle?

RE: Buying Laptops Advice

I've heard that it is possible to get a school discount by buying one through the school or college. You might inquire about it. (12/20/2006)
