No, seriously. I fucking hate apple products. But in terms of laptops, they fit a lot of characteristics that ppl want in a laptop. I agree with Boost that laptops should not be gaming laptops (i had the exact same issue with overheating and graphics card poofting), but if shes not gonna be gaming...every laptop will be able to do what she wants.

The benefits of an apple then...
-Typically lightweight
-Can be thin
-Very easy to use
-Less "HALP, I HAZ VIRI" questions
-If all else fails, or if youre lazy, u can be like "go to the apple store"
-All laptops are more than capable of accessing the internet, using a Microsoft Word like program, play music
-Higher battery life than other brands
-More Stylish (honestly, id say more Girly...but its for a girl!)

Cons
-Typically more expensive, and less powerful. But what do u need power for if you're just surfing youtube
-Still some compatibility issues...but im sure theres work arounds for most common things.

I mean...you dont have to get her an apple. But like...if shes not gonna be doing anything thats more difficult to play than farmville then all laptops should be able to do it.

Look at your post. Now look at the price range of the two computers I posted. Now back to your post. Now look at this post. Your post is not as smart as this post but it could be. Now back to the prices of the two computers. Look! A super expensive as fuck apple computer recommendation. Now back to this post. Look! I'm shaking my head at you!

Guys, Apple is great and all but my GF is going back to school, on a tight budget, and not looking to spend more than 500-600. Do they refurbish Apple laptops for that price range?
