<p>Lucky people! I don’t get a new laptop for college. Mine sucks. The battery dies so fast.</p>
<p>My parents are trying to figure out how to buy a Dell for me…I still don’t really want it as much as they want me to have it…</p>
<p>Jade, Dell is at the bottom of the barrel. Don’t like then get one</p>
<p>I’ve had my dell for 7 years… never had an issue</p>
<p>Longwood has a ton of support for the Dell Latitude so my parents want me to get one of those if I get a new laptop for college…I’d rather have a $500 laptop and get a new one in two years, not a $1500 one and have to make it work through 4…</p>
<p>Dell latitude is a tablet</p>
<p>I don’t start school until the very end of September, lol. Anyway, I just got a new Dell Inspiron 15z and it’s a great laptop!</p>
<p>What do you mean Jazzii?</p>
<p>A $1500 laptop should be way more powerful than a Mac and should last at least 4 years. That is of course you buy the right ones. I’m planning to buy and keep my HP for 2 years and then switch to Windows 8.1.</p>
<p>The laptop initially costs $1299. Upgrading to 8 gigs of RAM (which I need because I am constantly multitasking) ups the price to $1404. With shipping and tax, it comes out to just over $1500.</p>
<p>Apple haterssssss.</p>
<p>I expect this Air to last me as long as my Macbook did: five years. And guess what? Five years later, my Macbook can easily sell on Craigslist for $500+. I already have like six people asking for it.</p>
<p>^lol. If a Mac come in black or midnight blue I would buy it</p>
<p>Oh God I remember the black Macbook. I would go to the Apple Store and drool on it it was so beautiful.</p>
<p>There used to be a black one?! I would go insane for that!</p>
<p>But nooo, apple have to be generic and uncreative.</p>
<p>Which is ironic because they are for “creative people”</p>
<p>Serenity, i forgot To put "isn’t it " first. You said d it was a laptop but the dell latitude is a tablet no?</p>
<p>Acer is designed to express yourself. However they went deep into windows 8 leading to some of their laptops to be a fashion statement with cheap fabric.</p>
<p>The Latitude is one of their business laptops…It’s big and clunky and angular…</p>
<p>Linux is best to express yourself, but you have to know how computers work and stuff</p>
