MWF looks for Reliable, Somewhat Cool Companion

Dear DC,

Law school is starting soon (and by soon I mean 4 months) and so I'm trying to decide what type of laptop to buy to help me in my scholarly pursuits.

I typically don't like to categorize myself or subscribe to labels, but unfortunately this one is pretty clear-cut, Am I a Mac or PC?

Am I expensive and exclusive and sexy? Or am I more reasonably priced, full of new features and get along well with all kinds of people/software?

Seems obvious right? Well not to me.

With "Know Thyself" Love,

Julia
