<p>I'm having a hard time choosing between the recommended Dell laptop and a macbook, does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you :)</p>
<p>I chose a Dell XPS, you can’t go wrong with them. Macbooks are good but PCs are generally more business related.</p>
<p>The requirements are totally arbitrary you really don’t need a laptop that meets those requirements. If it was made within the past 4 years you should be fine.</p>
<p>go for the macbook. Although PC’s are more business oriented, you will not reach the point by which you NEED one for another 5 years or so. Macbooks are a lot better. I made this mistake-I purchased an HP laptop instead of a mac, and kick myself all the time for doing so. Yes, you will need minitab, but install parallels and you will be golden. Yea, those requirements really mean NOTHING.</p>
