<p>So I'm planning on getting a new laptop this year. Should I buy from a retailer for a PC(free xbox?), Apple(wait for this yr's deal(last yr was 100$itunes card) or Penn's own computer deals?</p>
<p>*add'l question.... which type of computer do most Penn students use?</p>
<p>Everyone is going to tell you to get a Mac because that’s the cool thing to do. If you’re in Wharton, save yourself a lot of hassle and extra money and just get a PC. If you’re in any of the other schools, I’d still get a PC just because they are more economical. Plus you can get upgraded to Windows 8 (when it comes out) for fifteen bucks.</p>
