Hey Guys,
So I'm currently in the market for a new laptop and I'm having a hell of a time trying to decide!!! I've been doing basic searches on the internet and getting a few opinions but there's a massive divide here between buying MAC or DELL! I've previously only owned PCs (usually dell), but I'm really starting to wonder about the advantages of a MAC.
Now let's be honest, I'm not a computer guy whatsoever. I wouldn't know a gigabyte from a USB Port and the only kind of RAM I know anything about are the ones with horns on their heads.
My needs are varied and somewhat scattered. I'm a performer and need to be able to edit video and sound recordings; I'm also an artist and need access to PhotoShop and various programs to edit photographs with. But, I need something with wordprocessing capabilities (I'm most comfortable using Microsoft Word) for some writing. I clearly surf the web so I need something reliable and that won't be attacked by virus' left, right, and centre.
Any advice would be most appreciated. Thoughts??
