Chosen Solution
Q 1, The college I am going to tells us to get one or the other so they can tend to the problems - minor problems. They think all of college kids in private school are going to toss the laptops . The Dell Latitude 8.1 w/4 year warranty is mad ugly. I like the mac book with there apple care total of 3 years. I am scared to choose. I am used to a Dell 7 and I want to move into a laptop with ease. Since the operating system will different to me on both computers is making it hard for me to choose. I am looking for a computer to last at least 5 years. Q 2, We also have to get the same University Microsoft 365 which comes with two product keys. This is for two uses on one computer in case of a problem or two different computers. The school tell me you can not the product key on two apples like a Ipad or the mac-book pro. but you can use the it on 2 PC like a tablet and the pc lab top. I do not know who to believe. please help me with the pros and cons.
Look in the phone book and count the number of PC repair places vs the number of Apple repair places. That will tell you how durable a Mac is. If you’re worried about software you can load your Mac up with an additional Windows operating system and have both. MS Office is crossgradable so you can have it on the Mac and the PC. If you can, find an old copy of Office 2011. My local university charged students $5.00 for it and it won’t expire and you don’t have to be leached every month. Go to your university computer store and see what cheap student software they offer and get it. Apple offers a student discount at their store if you have a valid .edu email address. Apple has on line tutorials on all their programs and they are easy to learn. If they are to tough for you, maybe you shouldn’t be going to college.
