Currently, I am a Computer Science major in college, and I am one of the few people in that major that do not have a steady personal laptop for coursework that they are satisfied with.
The only reason I have yet to buy a MacBook Pro is simply due to financial reasons. However, I am slowly but surely saving up for a Macbook Pro.
The reason I would like a Macbook Pro is because, although I have used Windows and Linux for years, I am ready to have a vacation from technical problems and just sit back and program software.
I enjoy playing with Linux in my free time, but ideally, I would like a MacbookPro with the Leopard OS, Linux, and Windows via Bootcamp.
Be honest with me: Would I be better off purchasing a less pricey Lenovo Thinkpad or Toshiba laptop for a computer that is steady and going to last me for years? I'm tired of buying notebooks that breakdown after a few months or a year. Or am I making the right decision in investing $1700 or more into a Macbook Pro?
I might work for my local Apple store in retail (just went to a group interview) if I get hired, so I might be getting an employee discount as well as a student discount.
