    If you can find a MacBook for around $500, then go with that. I switched to Mac a few years ago and haven't looked back....

    Go with a Mac. You can run windows on it. Intel is generally favored over AMD. AMD is a bit slower now. A 13" macbook is all you need. You just need to find a few more bucks. And, you WILL NEED a computer at college. At some colleges you need one to register. Don't buy software. Universities get great deals.

    i'd go with a toshiba satellite c650D. $409. toshiba isn't a bad computer neither are macs. Most viruses don't affect macs because they don't have windows on them. So if you download windows on one then your chances of getting a virus or anything else will go up GREATLY

    +1 I used the white MacBook all throughout undergrad and graduate school and it's still going strong. However, it was not $500. lol

    The cheapest I've heard of a new, basic MacBook is $1k. But, Mac is the way to go. Not for hipness but functionality. And how about NEVER having to worry about viruses, malware,etc. As someone who used a PC and hp laptop forever and then switched to Mac two years ago, I can say I'll never buy a PC again and I hate it when I have to jump on a PC to use IE or something.

    there are still viruses for mac but not as many bc most are directed at computers that have windows on them. so if he downloads windows then it won't even matter anymore if he has a mac...it will be like any other comp until he takes windows off
