The best Laptop?!?!

Don't base a buying decision on whether there's bloatware or not - just do a fresh install when you get the computer and install what YOU want. Or am I being a geek here?
Should point out that you can install Windows on any modern mac too.
And you should be looking for an Intel i7 Quad Core processor in your laptop to make it comparable to a MBP. That should push the budget up nicely...

I can work a mac as I use it at college, so that isn't a problem. It's just whether the mac and a laptop can do the same thing as each other because there is a big difference in the price

If you can't afford the programs on the mac then can you afford the programs on the windows machine? Are they not the same or similar price?

If you want a mac but would like access to Windows programs, can you not dual load windows on your mac or OSX on your Windows machine?

What do you mean by 'do the same thing'? You can't install your Windows software on a Mac, you will need to buy the Mac versions or equivalents. If you can't afford that extra investment then don't buy a Mac.

Yes the software is the same price.. around 300pound each. So 600pound altogether.. but If i buy a mac i will be spending around 2,000pounds but if i buy a laptop it may be somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 obviously depending on which one i get

Ah, I see. Not too upto date on mac prices.

I think you may have answered your own question as far as a windows vs mac machine.

Not sure about how resource hungry the Adobe suites are or if they would require a dedicated graphics card to be installed, so wait for someone who knows to advise on laptop spec required.:)

But I thought you already had the software in it's Windows versions?

Sophh

No I dont have any of the software.. I am thinking of getting the software as well as a new laptop.. So if i havent made things clear
