<p>Ok, so I was wondering which laptops you guys
are going to buy if you get into boarding school :D
And, also if anyone knows which school gives free
laptops for FA needers, posting is very helpful to me
and to OTHEEEERRSS x]....
But, say anything related to laptops that you wish to
say, and ps.
I really want a macbook</p>
<p>Anyone know if the macbook 13" is good or not?</p>
<p>macbooks are the best. i really want one. i know exeter gives free laptops meaning that andover should too.</p>
<p>i have a xps m1530. kinda old, have it for a year or so. so im gonna try to talk my dad into buying a mac. at this point, im wondering if they have one in pink. pink computers are sooooo cute. beyond gorgeous. definitely go with the macbook, they get no viruses. but one thing i hate about mac is that it's confusing. i was on a mac the other day and i couldnt even find the internet button.</p>
<p>Are you sure it was the mac's fault? :)
Jk that would probably be me I'd spend like an hour trying to figure it out computers just don't like me</p>
<p>yea and i was like, watever, than i got of the computer. i dont even wanna bother with difficult things, which is not good</p>
<p>i like macbooks, but i gotta say, that spinning rainbow ball of death is starting to annoy me.</p>
<p>i'm a mac savy ;)
i switched to mac two years ago and fell in love with it
everything is sooooo much easier once you become use to the OSX
of course, the adjustment might be pain in the butt, but keep your mind open and you will finally accept the fact that mac is way better than windows</p>
<p>two days ago while i was doing my work on my lovely macbook, my friend asked me "how can you use a mac?"
stunned by the question, i ask back "how can you use a PC?!"
i thought it was a funny little conversation. once i switched to mac, i slowly lost the ability to work on a PC. Without the dashboard and the Expose, everything seems inconvenient and complicated.</p>
<p>and... look at its design. white color is just cool, believe me. Walking around with macbook in your arm makes you look 70% 'cooler'</p>
<p>if you are planning not to buy another laptop when you graduate (assuming that you are a freshman), you may consider buying the new macbook pro because you can use it throughout your college year! (if you don't decide to take a super crazy engineering course that requires a super computer).</p>
<p>it makes you look 70% cooler cause everyone knows the price tag you're sporting with it :) lol</p>
<p>I think it only makes you look about 50% cooler you'd look 70% cooler if you weren't carrying a computer unless its the macbook air</p>
<p>hahahaa hotchkissjin,
the spinning rainbow of death :)</p>
<p>Gah. My school is Apple-integrated, which means that most students have laptops. Of course, when it comes to 10-year-old Year 7s (or any bored student, for that matter), laptops mean mainly Facebook games. They're actually rather useless, the laptops, sometimes. But that's beside the point. Ahem.</p>
<p>Honestly, I didn't like Macs at first, mainly because I had no idea of how to use it. But you have to give Steve Jobs (who, coincidentally, has the same birthdate as me) some credit - Apple is snazzy. Macs are confusing for a life-long PC user, but nonetheless, snazzy snazzy.</p>
<p>How about the Lenovo IBM Thinkpad? Too "parental" maybe? :-)</p>
<p>my mom's friend knew steve jobs in middle/high school ;)</p>
<p>Could she be a possible liver donor for Steve?</p>
<p>my exeter tour guide said that macs don't really work there...
anyways,i'm more used to pcs :)</p>
<p>anyone who went to Deeerfield, SPS, or Choate know if you get a laptop?
and does anyone think i should buy a 15" or 13" macbook (pro) on ebay?</p>
<p>i know that deerfield gets laptops.</p>
<p>Macbooks definitely the best!</p>
<p>I feel like someone already created exactly the same thread like two days ago... oh yeah, that was ME.</p>
<p>I had no idea that Exeter gives you a laptop - I thought that was only for the people on full or close to full FA. At Deerfield, however, everyone gets an ugly-as-eff IBM. I'd be happier to keep my mac and just install Windows on a boot camp partition for if I ever needed to use it.</p>
<p>I am probably going to get the 13" MacBook (the new one) if I get in. Luckily, my mom is selling our old house around the same time we get acceptance letters, yay, so we'll have the money to spend on boarding school needs!!</p>
<p>nope. dell has a partnership will exeter. even if you aren't a fa student at all you can still get a discount from dell if you're buying from there</p>
