I am going to college in the fall and i need to purchase a laptop. The main two I am currently looking at are the iMac and Sony Vaio. I have heard for years about how good macs are and how much better they are than any othetr computers. I know that many of my friends just recently purchased them. I read some of the reviews online and most of the knowledgable people were not that impressed with them. I love the way Sony Vaios look. They also seem to be pretty reliable. The only thing I do not like is Windows Vista. I heard that Windows Vista reveals if you have any pirated software or anything and you can get in trouble.
any advice?

I have had an iMac 20" for around 4 months now. Best investment ever. Has not crashed on me ONCE. No frustration, easy to use, sleek looking. Awesome. When I use Vista at work and get these shitty "Don't Send" error messages I just laugh now.

I heard Sony Viao's are only cool because of the looks. Get a Macbook.

Microsoft has been known to "sway" some critics' reviews of certain products if you know what I mean. For the average every day student... Apple is the best way to go. Especially if you want to do all the "fun" stuff like watch videos, games, etc... Apple is by far the best.

I have had a Dell for 3+ years, and have never had trouble with it.
My girlfriend bought a Sony a month ago, and she's already had to call Sony numerous times for help.
Though everyone seems to have great experiences with Macs, my sister just bought a Mac and it did not work from the start. She has to return it for a new computer.

The tecs at my work said Sony has went down in qaulity alot recently getting cheaper and cheaper in making there units.
