About Lauren Bennett Expertise I am a computer science major and my dad is an Electric Engineering, so my life has revolved around computers. For as long as I can remember, I have been buying and selling computers. I tend to travel a lot, so I have always had a laptop. I have bought 5 of them for myself, and bought around 30-40 for friends and family. I have dealt with the good and the bad of various version and brand names. If you are in need of buying a laptop, feel free to contact me and I'm sure I will be able to guide you into purchasing the laptop that will be the best fit for you. I will custom build you computers for you to choose from so you can get an exact idea of what to go and buy when you do it yourself and so that you have an exact price. However, I am in the USA and am only knowledgeable about computers here in the US. I do not know about foreign currency or the quality of computer brand names outside the US.
Experience B.S. in Computer Science. Buying and selling for years. Assisting friends/family.
I am going to school for web/graphic design and I want to buy laptop that can support all the applications i will be using: all photoshop programs, flash, dreamweaevr, indesign, adobe , illustrator etc.. I want something that will be fast and that will have good screen color resolution. I was told that a Mac is best, but i just wanted to get some other suggestions on which laptop company would be good as well? so if any on can help me that would be great!!!!!
thanks
Answer If you have a lot of money to spend, are willing to sacrifice a decent warranty, and are willing to sacrifice the ability to do most other tasks, yes a Mac is better strictly for the graphic design purposes. However, a PC would also function very well.
How much were you hoping to spend on this laptop? Would you be willing to spend an extra $200 to get a full 4 year warranty with 24/7 tech support and on-site service? Keep in mind that you will have to get a pretty fancy computer to fully support all these programs.
Also, you can get up to 12% off with Dell and HP because you are a student, but I can probably get you more off on a Dell with coupons.
