So, i am planning to buy a laptop

hi,

i am planning to buy a laptop for school work and stuff... but i am kind of clueless which laptops are good...

I can buy a mac or windows.

My dad has a hp laptop which is also old (like 6 years old) but its slows and overheats easily although i cleaned the fan recently.

So, if i buy a laptop what processors are good, what amount of ram should i look for, how much memory is good? etc.
I dont know any macs so, if there is any good ones, which are they?

thanks !

get the 13 inch macbook pro. my sister has one and it's so nice. runs a lot better than my 2 year old HP and it has a quadcore

Pretty much any laptop with a 45nm or smaller mobility dual-core CPU and 2GB or more RAM will work. Go with integrated graphics for more battery life.

And the hard drive doesn't really matter: just get as much as you need. 250GB should be more than enough for school work if you don't do a lot of audio-visual stuff.

when it comes to school work, and just working, i have a feeling mac would be better... i really love my HP and windows set up, its perfect, but my friends mac can do some great school/work type of stuff. i say get a HP, but study both options.

If you're debating about mac v.s Windows basil isn't the place to ask for.
