<p>when are you all buying ur laptops? are you gonna buy an apple or a microsoft (dell, IBM, toshiba)?</p>

2

<p>For wharton they highly recommend Windows, but for the college I think they don't care as much between Apple or windows. I am buying a windows (I'm a whartonite now) even though I'm an apple guy, you can look for it in the Penn website.</p>

3

<p>Ima buy a sexy new tablet mid next year cause it will be good for graphs n stuff in wharton</p>

4

<p>^haha</p>

<p>yeah, i just got a dell - its got a few apple-compatible things on there though so its cool.</p>

5

<p>lol.. i am going to update my ibm next summer... well...i don't know what i should do with this one now.....it pulled me through........</p>

6

<p>if you're rich, just splurge on the ibm. if your father is a bich engineer like mine, go for the poor man's dell (which actually is a solid machine if you use it well).</p>

7

<p>Yea the ibm's are the best out there</p>

8

<p>I was gonna buy a mac. Mac can run all windows programs and everything. I just got a new PC a few months ago and its horrible. I am gonna give mac a try.</p>

9

<p>don't get a toshiba. i have one at home for the family computer, and the fans suck so much. we are getting them fixed every year at this rate. </p>

<p>for college, i'm looking at a macbook</p>

10

<p>you all need to wait for windows vista which comes out Q1 of 2007</p>

11

<p>It'll be out Q1? As in by March? I'll wait for it in that case...will all laptops automatically be equipped with it when it's released?</p>

12

<p>i thought Vista was being released in late January... can't wait though</p>

13

<p>I'd go with a macbook pro if you have the dough.</p>

14

<p>Isn't Vista just a ripoff of Mac OS X anyway?</p>

15

<p>There is no set in stone date but it will be out before the end of feb.
i am a nerd if you cant tell</p>

16

<p>if you cant wait buy a windows Vista capable pc. the upgrade will be free. Its just easier to wait for the newer pcs if you can.</p>

17

<p>OMG no linux being mentioned?</p>

18

<p>Macbook Pro - Fast Mac that can also run windows smoothly</p>

19

<p>unless you are fluent in programming language there's no point getting a linux....</p>

<p>penn's not MIT, lol</p>

20

<p>I'll believe that Vista is actually coming out when people start buying it.</p>

<p>M$oft has been saying Vista was gonna come out any day now for a year.</p>
