In my effort to emerge from the Dark Ages, I have decided to purchase a laptop computer. I struggled with this notion for a while because of the computers’ costly nature. However, I have found that it is necessary for both school and work. As soon as I came to my decision to purchase a laptop, the next question was, what will it be? A Mac or a PC? Our group project for the media literacy assignment was to compare the ads of the ongoing war between the two types of computers. Having a desktop PC at home and a Mac at the office, I have had the golden opportunity to work with both. And after much brooding and experimentation with the two, I have finally decided to purchase a PC. Although I’ve fallen in love with my Mac at work, I had to come to the brutal conclusion that I just cannot bring myself to spend that much money on gigabites and rams and what not simply because I have an emotional attachment to a machine.
Also, my mother-in-law works for Hewlett Packard and can get me an incredible deal on an HP laptop, so that just sealed the deal.
