I am a girl embarrassed to go buy a computer because I don't really know much! Please help! I urgently need to buy a new laptop and I'd like to make an informed decision! 2 questions really:
1. I am considering the big switch to a MAC, but I have never used one and heard I would experience difficulty sync-ing in to my home network already in place (printers, scanner, wireless router etc, already connected to PCs), difficulty buying and updating software.
I would need it for:
small home business applications (mostly Office applications)
big memory, fast
downloads (more music than anything else)
easily portable (6 lbs or less)
dvd/cdr
perhaps some dabbling with computer design (but I am aware I need a much more powerful computer if I want to do this seriously)
I don't know much at all about software programs, compatability. The question really is is it worth it to make the switch, as I really don't want and wouldn't be able to deal with a lot of fiddling.
2. If you don't recommend a MAC, then can you recommend a good PC that fulfills my requirements looks nice as well!
ANY COMMENTS OR HELP AT ALL WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! THANKS!
