It's a widely known fact that businesses use PCs far more often than the use Macs. Microsoft Office is the standard system and the most feature packed version of Office is always on the PC.





That said, your question is a bit like asking ';which brand of car is best to get me to and from work';. That is, you're not doing anything special with spreadsheets, word, and email. virtually any computer made in the last 12 years can do all that perfectly well. Now if you said which can edit video best, that would be different... like asking what car can handle off-road best... that's not an everyday use.





Really, go read consumer reports and pc magazine at your local library. While we can all tell you use this or use that... we all have our biases and if you want an HONEST, UNBIASED view, you need a MUCH larger sampling than the 2-20 answers you'll get here - those magazines have THOUSANDS of opinions factored in.





One thing I will recommend, any brand you buy should have a 3 year warranty with accidental damage protection. A desktop or tower sits in the area of your desk and never moves. A laptop is banged around constantly. It's more expensive to fix and FAR more likely to get damaged. The 3 3 year warranty and accidental damage protection will help ensure you didn't spend $1000-$2000 on a large paperweight.Want to buy a notebook but i have limited knowledge as to what brand suits me. can you advise which brand ?
I would buy a Toshiba Satellite. They are a basic computer but these days come with a 160 gig hard drive, dual processor etc. Just make sure you get the office software you need in order to do the excel spreadsheets, etc.
Your looking at a basic machine. So pretty much any base model laptop or notebook would suit your needs. You really need to decide a few things that are important to you such as size of the screen, how much your willing to spend, does it need to be light, etc. Once you head down to a local store you might get a better feel of what suits your needs best. My guess is the screen will be the deciding factor along with price. In general I have had excellent luck with Toshiba, Gateway and Apple laptops.
go with the macbooks. simply put...they are more stable, faster, funner to use, quieter, easier to use, no viruses, and dare i say a lot prettier. as a previous pc owner, macs come with a lot less headaches and stress compared to a pc
Dell XPS M1330, Intel庐 Core鈩?2 Duo T5450, 1.6GHz, 13.3'; WXGA, 2GB RAM, 120GB, CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW Drive), 802.11b/g, Bluetooth, 2.0 Megapixel Integrated Webcam, Windows Vista鈩?Home Premium Edition 禄 for $999.98 at Staples.com





This is the best deal i have found as of today. I have recommended the same laptop for a friend and she was very happy with her decision.





If you need any further clarification please get back to me.

MacBooks are your best shot, as they have intercapability options for multiple-operating-systems (if you need a Microsoft or other OS specific application) and there is heaps of programs for Mac (even Microsoft makes a special edition of Office for them) and they have some of the best hardware around, with built in Webcams and all. They come with good Mac applications (so that you don't have to spend a fortune getting the software for the hardware!) and are ready to use from the moment you unpack. Getting accessories is easy, there is mice that automatically intergrade and remotes that do the same. They all come with Wireless (so that you can connect to networks, which is a savior) and enough memory to last the average computer user a life-time. They are sleek and have wide-ish screens great for spreadsheets, but are yet small and compact, easy to carry. They cost about $2000(NZ) for normal, and if you pay extra you can get black. If you want to upgrade to metal-chrome-thing and better memory/applications you can get a MacBook pro. All have Bluetooth, so most phones and even some MP3s can intergrate instantly, wirelessly. MacBooks are easy to use and are great for beginners who are on to use email etc. and the hardcore people who want to code, as well as being perfectly suited to all enviroments (work, home, etc.) and are extremely tough. They have a look good enough for even the most fussy to adore them instantly but aren't super expensive. Easily capable of most games, as well as being able to have multiple OSes (Operating Systems) on them, so you can have Windows as well as your normal Mac.


Their accessories are well built and they do wonders with your iPod, iPhone and everything else Apple.
MacBook %26gt; you have all you need and more. It is user friendly, and even looser friendly. Cool features and programs, and not that expensive.
