I am in the process of starting my college experience. This has been taking over a lot of my time. Along with all the excitement comes important projects and decisions such as the never ending pile of scholarships to fill out, and deciding if I would rather live in a dorm or fraternity. One of these mind boggling questions is what laptop I should get. I feel like this is a necessity when it comes to the college level schooling. Going to Illinois Central College has backed this thinking of mine. The decision that I face is where to get a Mac or PC. I have put great thought into this because I do not know whether if the money I spend on a Mac will be worth it. From talking to kids I know who go the school I will be attending next fall I am leaning towards the cheaper PC. My reasoning for this is that I just need the basics such as a typing program, the internet, and printing. Since a PC could easily accomplish this just as well as the Mac then why not. Plus I have used a Mac maybe twice in my life and just feel comfortable with PC’s. However from talking to my uncle who is in love with Macs he claims that this is the wrong decision. He says that there is more to some college work than just that and that I would be using it for stuff unrelated to school a lot more than I think. He says there is a reason why it is more expensive. “Macs are safer, easier to use, and overall better laptops” he said. This decision would be easier if my income were a little higher right now.
