I hear the new MacBookAir is amazing and really lightweight and portable. I'm pretty sure you can run all your programs at once. I don't know anything about Samsung or any other non-Mac computers, unfortunately.
As far as refurbished computers/electronics go, I was working at an office and they ordered three refurbished Macs and one was defective and had to be exchanged but the others worked fine. Personally though, I wouldn't buy refurbished. I'm not a tech but I feel that once these machines are opened up and the chips are switched out, etc., they are just never the same because they're not designed to last a long time in the first place.
Again, that's just my opinion because I'm definitely not a professional:)
I have a basic Macbook laptop; I've had it since 2008, and it's still running strong as if I had just bought it yesterday.
Macs are nice because they allow you to have a ton of different windows up at once and it doesn't slow things down.
They also don't get viruses like PCs do.
I love my Macbook for doing school-related work (I'm a teacher) because I can have student essays, my gradebook, a rubric, and Wedding bee pulled up at once. ;) haha
I have a Macbook Pro, and I love it. I did the whole PC thing and went right back to a Mac.
I'm going to put another good word in for the macbook pro! My husband got one because we were tired of burning through PC laptops every 3 years. When my laptop kicks the bucket I plan on getting one as well because I'm jealous of how awesome his is.

I'm trying to research the options that would best meet my needs, and I'm just getting confused. "Ultraportable?" "All-purpose?" I want something fast that will run multiple programs at once. I like to have Pandora open on the internet while I have a zillion Office/Acrobat tabs open to work. It will act as my "all-purpose" laptop in that it will be the only computer I use, so I want it to store and organize pictures, too, but I don't game and I don't play DVDs on it. I'd want to watch streaming video of course. I don't care about burning anything. We have a desktop that can handle all that stuff. I'm leaning towards an ultraportable, but I worry that it won't be powerful enough.
Has anyone ever bought a factory refurbished laptop? Is it worth the savings? Are refurbished electronics slower?
Also, does anyone have any experience with Samsung computers?
Thanks, bees!
