I had an acer before, it was a cheap one and it was craaaap. I love my Toshiba though.

I personally would avoid a mac because while I hear they tend to run smoothly, it doesn't always give you the tools to fix it when things do go wrong. When I worked in internet tech support, there's a bajillion things with windows you can do to fix the internet connection, but only a few with mac and then you have to bring it in a shop or call Apple. Also, when my friend's mac broke down she had to send it away, but that may not be your case, if you buy a computer in store ask if you'd have to send it away or not. I wouldn't know how long it would have taken though because it was beyond repair, although they did manage to recover her thesis, thank god.
