I will strongly recommend you Dell Inspiron 17R 1599MRB 17.3-Inch Laptop. As it is under your budget and fulfills your all requirements under reasonable price. You will experience HD graphics and good quality sound. This laptop is best for gaming and all kind of stuff due to its high specifications. When you are getting all things at reasonable price in this laptop then dont go for expensive one like Apple.

How to use a Governor's Scholarship to buy an Apple laptop?

How to use a Governor's Scholarship to buy an Apple laptop?
I'm about to transfer to a college in Northern California and before I transfer I want to get a laptop. I am majoring in digital media arts and I heard that apple is still the better brand for the arts. I received a California Governor's scholarship for a significant amount and would like to apply it towards a laptop. The scholarship's website say that it does allow one to buy equipment, like computers. The main issue is that I live in Southern California and am unsure how to purchase. The bookstore website links to the apple educational store. Who do I make it out to? Should I try a local CSU and see if I can buy it there?

Although you can usually use financial aid to cover the cost of a computer, you can't take the money and walk into the Apple store and sign over the loan/scholarship check to them... See, in most cases, scholarships, loans, and grants funds are sent straight from the donor/lender to the school. The school will then take the money and first apply it to your "billable charges" like tuition, fees, and the dorm. If there is money left over (and it sounds like there will be), they will give that money back to you in the form of a refund (usually a check made out to you). Once you have this check, you can use it for anything you want, including a computer. Yes, the money is meant for "educational expenses" but you can see how it could be used for, say, a large party. I don't advise this. :-) On another note: Macs are excellent computers for "creative" people. They're typically more expensive than PCs but, in my opinion, they'll last a lot longer and always look cutting-edge. To buy an apple computer using your educational discount, just walk into the Apple store, go to the register, and when you are checking out, have your Student ID ready and remind them that you get an educational discount. They do it *all* the time. It'll usually save you about $200 on a computer and a little bit on software, ipods, etc. (To buy online, go to http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/routingpage.html and pick your school when they ask you to.)

If price is not a large problem for you, then the best one to get is probably the most expensive one there is! Pretty much if you go to apple.com and order your laptop from there, you will a great computer that can easily run indesign and photoshop. I think they also have great student discounts on there (I know at least they do for ordering iPods, so maybe it is the same with a laptop). I think Apple.com only sells the newest laptops they have (and these are not so customizable as like Dell) so they are already put together for maximum performance. It is mostly a question of size. And they all have their benefits, smaller are easier to carry and lightweight, but larger ones have larger screens and bigger resolutions. So, that's all a matter of taste! Hope this helps!

Hi, I can help you with this query. Apple has two models of Laptops. The latest of them are called Macbook and Macbook Pro which comes with Intel Processors. Macbook is designed specially targetting school children who use it for their day-to-day activity. Also If you happen to work on high memory intensive applications which you may use for video & Sound editing and morphing then I would suggest you to Use Macbook Pro which is basically built for professional users Cost wise Macbook is cheaper than Macbook Pro. However considering that you are going to use it for your school I would say Macbook would be more appropriate. This is also equally good when compared to Macbook Pro and to work with Adobe photoshop and indesign. My Choice of suggestion for you : Macbook Hope this helps!! Good Luck :-)

How do I transfer all my music and videos from my IPod, to my new Apple laptop?

How do I transfer all my music and videos from my IPod, to my new Apple laptop?
I actually have 2 IPods (1 video, 1 old non video) - I would like to transfer all of the music and movies and videos, to my new Apple Laptop. Also, I would like to keep it from automatically updating. How do you do this? Do you know any good free software for music burning programs, other than itunes, and comparable to Roxio?

To stop auto updates: 1. Plug in your ipod. If you have iTunes installed, make sure you go to Edit, Preferences 2. Choose the iPod tab and check "update manually" Now do one of these two steps to view hidden files: 1. Go to Finder and search for “com.apple.finder.plist” Click on the file and search for the line, AppleShowAllFiles FALSE. Change FALSE to TRUE 2. Open the terminal and type “defaults write com.apple.finder. AppleShowAllFiles TRUE” and hit return. To refresh Finder, type “killall Finder” and hit return. If you want to hide them type “defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE” and press return. To refresh Finder, type “killall Finder” and press return. After you're able to see your hidden files, navigate to your iPod drive and copy the files to your hard drive. The song names will appear as 4 letters in your iPod folder. ex: ALBG, ALCW.
