What laptop brands are best?

[TaraJo]

Which software are you concerned about? Office applications can save in cross-platform formats, so transferring documents between a PC and an Apple is a piece of piss.

The main software concerns are as follows:

Word processing and school computers. As of now, when I need to print something at school (and that happens a lot) the computer system only seems to read Microsoft Word documents. If Mac uses a different word processor, that could be a very big problem for me.

Also, work. The website I work with, I don't really know how compatible they are with Mac's browser. I already know I've had issues trying to use Chrome with them so, I dunno. If the problem is just the browser I could solve it by downloading firefox. If the entire OS doesn't work on imlive, I could be kinda screwed. Plus, related, I need to get a decent webcam; the one built into the laptop doesn't work quite so well, but I don't figure that will be too big a big problem. There could also be issues when/if I use a different site if the new site has compatibility problems.

Yeah, but it's hard to take my desktop to class to take notes.

Laziness.

What can I say? Not only do I not write fast enough to keep up with my teacher, my handwriting looks like it was written by a drunk, blind guy with advanced Parkinsons.
