What's the best laptop?

<p>My son will be a freshman this fall. He is plans to study business. We have been a MAC family for many years and he has an I-phone 5. We use MAC’s mainly for their reliability. Since switching to Apple, I have never seen a blue screen. </p>

<p>My bias is to purchase a MAC laptop for his college years. However, the business school website only mentions Dell laptops in its recommendations. </p>

<p>Here is my question: Is there any advantage, as a business student, to use a PC laptop? In other words, is there a downside to equipping him with a MAC?</p>

<p>Glad this thread popped up again. My son’s HD Pavilion survived the first year, and never gave him a single problem. Hope it lasts another 3 years. (btw, he is a dual English/Bio major, if that matters)</p>
