Choosing a laptop appe x others)

[roque]

Hi, i'm realy desperate... I wanna uy a laptop, but i have a doubt... apple or the other ones...
I'm with this doubt because I always wanted an apple one, but some friends said that it isn't good that I should buy another one like Dell, sony or Hp... because apple has a different Operation system, and with the other ones I can use windows that is most popular... I realy need help... please if someone can help me... if someone has already had experience with apple please tell me...thank's

Apple laptops (e.g. the Powerbook) use the Mac OS operating system. Essentially, the software used by Macs are intrinsically different from those of PCs.

If you get a Dell, Sony or HP laptop, they are based on Intel architectures, which means you can run the Microsoft Windows operating system.

It depends on what you want - some folks prefer Mac applications, others prefer to have Windows based software.
