Personally using Apple MacBook Air for few years already
Although a bit pricey, it's quite lasting. I feel it's user friendly too.
Used to use Acer and Dell but after changing to apple's so far no regret.
Maybe can set a budget first, then from there shortlist a few brand or models for comparison?
I decided to get one because I think its not safe if my child borrows my laptop to school on occasions for projects. Cos these days, everything is done online, means that i have to clear cache, check that no passwords autosave etc, be careful any saved credit cards etc.
I checked on the macbook, is too expensive and I indeed worry about theft or loss. I asked around and some people agree that a black laptop is less desirable than a silver macbook to steal for eg. My child is also quite careless.
I think I will just settle for lenovo as recommended by relative. But mainly because Macbook is expensive for us. Thing is my child cry foul and actually prefer mac book for just general use only so far.
The laptop is for my child to practise coding, edit videos, play 3D games (my business model laptop not ideal), do photoshop type editing and of course next time use in school for project and presentation, so I don't feel secure my laptop being used without my presence.
I will also try to get some kind of waterproof keyboard if possible, because I have personally experienced accidental water spill and then goodbye laptop....! so with kids you never know about their water bottles.
Will go to Funan tomorrow to have a look see at lenovo.[/quote]
I got it for my DD since she has been using it. I also told her not to lose her laptop and actually went to Funan to buy a laptop lock for her. Just in case her laptop gets stolen by Sch classmates. I agree with you that it is not suitable for kids to use our laptops for security reasons and out passwords are in there.
I guess it's not the colour of the laptops that thieves are actually concerned. It can be design and size. My Samsung laptop is white on colour and it gets dirty overtime. I think no thief would want it! :rotflmao:
