Well do you plan on doing any gaming on the laptop? Or is this mainly going to be for word processing, email, that sort of stuff?
 
if ur goin to be doin gamin dont go with the apple. but based on ur college needs i would personally go with hte apple.
 
why dont you look at the dell laptops they have some good ones. but if you dont want to do that go with the thinkpad
 
thinkpads are some of the best made notebooks out there. I'd deffinately go that way! not to mention, if ur in college, ur gunna want a good keyboard, which thinkpads rule that area.
 
i would actually go with the mac for what u are gonna be doin. i sont usually say good things about macs but the 12" ibook impressed me
 
I say the IBM thinkpad, here's why.. not that it is any better than the apple. If you get the thinkpad you will be running windows just like the majority of your peers will, so if something happens or you need help more then likely someone will say..oh I know what that is, plus if someone has a program to share with you at college it more then likely will be windowsbased. As far as networking it does not matter which one, and if the college provides software they will more then likely have versions for both.
 
mac products are very good and give crystal clear pictures on their monitors but i think that navigating a windows product is much easier and more sufficient. i would have to say go with the thinkbook even though i dont kno what it is lol. that's just my opinion because i don't like macs and i've had bad experiences with them.

AMD64
why dont you look at the dell laptops they have some good ones. but if you dont want to do that go with the thinkpad

I'd also check out a dell laptop because they seem awesome. they have some pretty good deals on them as well. i'v always wanted a Dell, but im stuck with an eMachine.

basically THINKPAD or DELL
 
good choice... and if u dont mind... plz post a picture on the site of the model you're going to buy... so we can see exactly what ur gettin
 
I would recommend Thinkpad. I am using one, and I don't have any problems with it.
Apple is worth buying if you know how to operate the OS and if you are going to use it for graphic design (clear picture). Otherwise go for the IBM.
Also, I would recommend Toshiba. they make the best laptops,and also dell. they have good online deals.
One more thing; it's generally difficult to upgrade laptops, but it might be easier to upgrade the Thinkpad (memory, harddrive), than an iBook. It's more difficult to get the parts and service for Apple products.
It's easier and faster to get help for the Thinkpad if you get problems with the software or hardware ...
