Categories: Macs

Starting college next year and need a laptop. Don’t want a mac cause i have a Zune and i don’t like the format (even though i hear there the best for design). Any hints or help is appreciated!

You will be fine on a Mac with graphic design. You’ll likely mainly be relying on the Adobe and Quark lineups anyway. And they are all well designed for the PC, so no big deal.
I would factor in buying Windows 7 when it comes out in the Fall. I’m assuming you can’t wait on buying a laptop until then. But I would defiintely budget in buying that. It should help whatever laptop you do buy a lot by being light years more efficient than Vista currently is.
I would look at maybe an HP 6z or 16t series laptop. Make sure to get Wireless N card (I think the 6z needs an upgrade) and a big hard drive (320GB should serve you well). I think those would be a good choice and be reasonably affordable. Also I think they both happen to come with HDMI output. So you can port your laptop out to an HDTV (not a bad way to say look at a logo blown up to a large scale).
