This. Why are you even here if you’ve made up your mind already? If you want one of Steve Jobs’ shiny trinkets that badly, just go get one.</p>
<p>I think he was moreso asking if it’d work for a pre-med student.</p>
<p>I’d rather have one of Steve Jobs’ shiny trinkets than Michael Dell’s plastic pieces of crap ;)</p>
<p>Perhaps, but that’s why people buy pc’s that aren’t made by dell</p>
<p>I wasn’t specifically speaking of Dell, just taking his words and applying someone else. Replace Michael Dell’s name with any other CEO. </p>
<p>It’s really unnecessary to “trash” any computer here, but some people feel the need to.</p>
<p>ok because someone on here whos a science majored said not to get macs and I havent decided because I don’t know about macs that well or pcs. I would like to get a mac yes but if it is not a good idea then I can get a pc laptop. what do you guys have?</p>
<p>I’m not pre-med, but I’ve got a MacBook Pro, and I absolutely love it. I know my school gives out MacBook scholarships to some pre-med students, so it’s certainly a suitable computer for the area of study. As mentioned above, if there are any windows-only applications, they can easy be run on a MacBook/MacBook Pro.</p>
<p>I’m going into Pre-Pharmacy and I have been leaning toward buying a mac mini and netbook for college. The mac mini is seems powerful enough for my needs and light enough to take with me if i have to leave campus for a few days and not worry about it getting stolen. I can also put windows on it so i can have the best of both OS. Also, a netbook seems light and small enough so i can view the professors online notes while having enough room to jot diagrams down on small desks or tables. I know some netbooks have terrible keyboards and slow speeds, but it seems perfect if all i will use it for is word documents and surfing the web. I am waiting for the new hp mini 5101 to come out in late july. It looks a lot better than any other netbook i’ve seen plus it seems powerful enough to run vista ok which means windows 7 will run like a dream on it (i hope) and I really enjoyed Hp’s keyboards on their other mini laptops i have tested in stores. That is what i have come up with so far and am open to some other suggestions.</p>
