Looking to purchase a laptop for the first time since college! For years I had one through work. What kind do you have? I don't even know where to start!

I have a Vaio. I really like it. What I don't love is Windows 8. It's awful!

MacBook Pro and I love love love it! I had an HP and though I got a good price on it, it constantly had problems. I decided to pay a little more and get a high quality computer and I'm glad I did. I really love my Mac.

Another Macbook Air and I'm in love! The choice was made for me since I get it from work but still, I'd recommend it

Macbook Air. This is actually my second one. I originally had an 11" (used for 4 years and it still works great!) but recently upgraded to a 13" so I can work from home a little easier.

I also have a Macbook Air and it's perfect for what I use it for, which is mainly just internet and Pages for essays.

I have a Lenovo. I am NOT an Apple gal. I love windows 8.1, it's touch screen and has a fast processor and tons of storage, which I need for Work.

@Meowkers: can you update to 8.1? It fixed a bunch of the issues and is much better!

@Rainbow Sprinkles: I have 8.1. I just really don't like the new operation of it. Nothing is intuitive. Everything is just harder than it has to be.

MacBook Pro for a laptop and iMac for desktop. We're an all Apple family.

I have a Lenovo which I love. Not an Apple gal here so you couldn't pay me to have a MacBook.

I have a MacBook Pro that I love but I have barely used it in 3 years because I have to have a PC for my work software. My PC is a Dell. It's fine, but I also use an external keyboard and 2 large screens, so I actually use it more like a desktop than a laptop.

Macbook Pro - love it! Would never buy anything other than Mac:)
I have Lenova laptops for work and they really suck.

An Asus. Less than $300 and works great. I do my full time school on it and use it for watching shows and movies. I've never really understood what expensive laptops like MacBooks can do better than more basic ones?

I was a Mac girl all through college, and up until my third year of law school when it finally started having issues. I bought a Vaio because it was cheaper, and lighter then my MacBook at the time. I hate it! Not only does windows stink, but after 3 years I started having issues with it. Compared to the double lasting power of my apple products, we are currently shopping for a new Mac. I'm leaning towards the Air for portability. I'm not into push presents, but my LO is due the same week of my bday, so I told DH it can be my "push present," and bday present in one

I'd go for a Macbook. I was a windows girl and got a Macbook and never looked back! Mine is the "vintage" white regular one that's not sold anymore and it still works! Although I rarely use it nowadays!

We don't have a laptop (although I'd like one!). I have a Dell laptop for work and I only use that for work.
We have a Mac desktop, an ipad, and both our smartphones.

I have a Dell that I got for a graduation present 7 years ago. I don't recommend it. Do they even make Dells anymore?

I JUST got a MacBook Air and I love it. Last year I tried a tablet/pc with Windows 8 and I hated it. I had to go back to my trusty Apple.

@Rainbow Sprinkles: @Mrs.KMM: I have a Lenovo too and I love it. We are not Apple people. I have had 0 issues with the Lenovo and I've had it for almost 4 years now.

DH has a Dell, it's okay.
I use a Dell for work.
