I am not familiar with Mac brand and not sure what laptop would be the best for me. I would like a fast and reliable, lots of memory, doesn't crash or get overheated but still can enjoy watching DVDs on it. I'm currently a college student which means this computer is going to be running most of the day. Does anyone have suggestions?

Answer
Macs won't crash on you, they are fast and reliable. They get warm but don't overheat. All Mac laptops come with a CD/DVD burner and reader. You won't have any problems watching movies on them.
Don't forget you can get student discounts on any Mac you buy. They often offer to throw in a free iPod Touch too.

My Suggestions:

If you are on a budget then get the 13" Macbook (the one witht the white case). If you want more power or a larger screen size then go for the Macbook Pro. Look carefully at the specifications of the laptop you buy. Faster harddrives (4500rpm vs 5400rpm) will suck more life out of your battery , but will make your computer work faster. The Macbook Pros will have a longer battery life than the Macbook. It might be a dealbreaker if you spend all day in class.

Note: you can run windows natively on a Mac using bootcamp. So yes you can keep your windows games too. Just remember, if you have windows on it, you open yourself up to windows isssues (viruses, malware etc).

What are some good suggestions for a laptop for a college student?

I'm just about heading off to college, and I'd like to get a laptop, but I don't know what's good out there. Is a laptop even necessary for college? I know I could get twice the machine for the same price if I got a desktop, but I figured I would need something mobile like a laptop for college. What do you think works best from experience? I'm a college student, so basically I'm poor, and I don't wanna spend too much. What's the difference between AMD and Intel processors? What would you suggest? I also assume I'd like to use my laptop for gaming a bit, but I'm not an extreme gamer, but I'm also aware that laptops aren't good for gaming.
And what about brands? I've heard dells aren't very reliable. My dad's also biased against HP, but I've heard good things about HP too. Anyway, I'd just like to hear your suggestions...
I'm majoring in Physiology and Developmental Biology, eventually planning on going to medical school, but that's about six years away.

here is a video on back to school laptops I didnt watch it but it should be good as its from cnet @ download.com

hp are the best in my opinion my dad would say dells are laptops for students and suggested a dell for me( I got HP), and you could get a desktop with much power full for the same price(probably not twice the machine tough more like 1.5 )

a computer is neccesary for college but if it has to be a laptop depends on your college and what you are studying
