I can get the Lenovo for about 6 and the Macbook for 49 although the Macbook will come with an 8gb iPod touch (9 value) and an HP F4480 All-in-One Printer (~ value). Money really isn’t an issue for me. If I sell the IPod and printer, it’ll be around the same price anyway. I just need a laptop that will last long and can handle all the media-related tasks I do ie. playing movies and some video editting.
I love both laptops, but I also hear mixed reviews for both. I like the Lenovo’s specs the best even though the Mac’s graphics card is of higher quality and I hear that Lenovos are pretty durable. On the other hand, I also heard that Macs are designed for entertainment, so despite its lower quality specs, such as its 2Core Duo vs. the Lenovo’s i5 processor, it should be more efficient than the Lenovo. Not being computer guru, I have no way to tell if these remarks are true. Can you guys please help me decide on which laptop to buy? Thanks!!!
I am a student, so I will be able to get the Mac deal that I mentioned above at my school.

Apple its more reliable and it comes with a lot of stuff and you can only get the ipod if your in college or teacher etc anyways i prefer and recommend apple its $1099 with an education discount no viruses the only downside is sometimes it gets really hot same with the charger

Well it depends on what are you going to use it for. If you need one for business and security get the apple. But if you need one for gaming downloading things get the lenovo. I would get the lenovo cause you can do more stuff with it.
