ASus has the best reliability on par with apple. They have a pretty nice warranty also.

Well there isn't really a "best", and in my opinion *based on a price per performance basis* every windows laptop is better then an apple. It depends on your price range and what you want to do with said laptop. Since you mentioned you didn't want to buy an apple, you have a budget of like $1000 lets say. If you are into gaming, you can get a fairly decent gaming laptop for that price, but the battery life and size can be annoying if you want to carry it around with you. If you want to watch movies and take it with you, a lighter, smaller laptop would be your best bet. But an HP, Toshiba, MSI, Asus, all of which are good brands. Hope this helps!!!

im pretty sure thats a scam coz before i use my aunts apple laptop to check my yahoo email
2 :
sounds like a phishing site. people make sites looking almost exactly like other sites and then get your personal info or credit card numbers. make sure u were really on yahoo.com
3 :
It's a scam. But so is buying an Apple. Yahoo email is always free. Try scanning for viruses (yes, macs get them too).
4 :
The free Yahoo Mail used to work with Apple Mail but now it seems you need Yahoo Mail Plus to get this to work (costs about $20 a year). But make sure you sign up for this only through Yahoo's site, anything else would be a scam. Google Yahoo Mail Plus for more info

There are only two ways. 1. Would be to take the harddrive out of the dell and put it into the apple and get the songs onto your computer. 2. Burn all the songs onto a CD and then import them into your computer.

its very simple, where do you store all your music, if its in the itunes folder just copy the folder to your new laptop, same location, this should work fine. If all your songs are not in the itunes folder find those folder and copy it over. The problem arises if you are not going to have it in the same place with the same user name. itunes will report the files missing. This has good steps. http://hifiblog.com/past/2006/05/11/howto-move-your-itunes-music-while-preserving-library-data-when-you-dont-let-itunes-manage-your-music-library/ dont forget to deauthorise the current computer

Lindsay is incorrect (or at least incomplete). You can do it over a network or use an external hard drive. Take your "My Music" folder and drag it into the other computer's iTunes application. Alternatively, you could pay $5 for a 1-month subscription to a service like ibackup.com and upload/download your music 5 GB at a time. Good luck!

The new version of ITunes allows you to import the files in the format they are stored on the hard drive. So you first will need to move them across. I suggest creating a netwaork share between the to machines. Copy the files over to a folder and then do a import within iTunes.
5 :
Plug a network cable from the Dell to the Mac. The Mac is capable of detecting if it is plugged into a hub or to another computer and will automatically configure its ethernet port as a crossover port. Anyway, you have just created a network between your two computers and can directly copy from the Dell to the Mac. No need to burn to a CD, remove the hard drive or use an external drive. You may have to tinker with a couple of network settings to get the computers to see each other. I have done this before several times. BTW, the Mac is more likely to see the Dell than vice versa based on the default security settings for each machine. Enable file sharing on the Dell, making sure that the folder with the tunes on the Dell is shared, find them using the Mac, and hen copy them over to the Mac.
