okay so i am getting a new laptop computer that i can use for animating
i either want a macbook pro with 4GB of RAM
or a dell laptop that will last me a long time and can handle Adobe products such as master collection
i also need specifics on which model i should get from either mac or dell
so i should get that instead of a mac
also i want one that will last a long time like a mac
Yeah that will last a long time the same as a iMac.
any estimate of how long

Macs are not all powerful They can get viruses. 
Anyways most Macs are usually $1000. Unless you can find something cheaper. Or if your looking for a cheap PC for Brickfilm it could be around 400-500 or more. You can customize a laptop or Desktop on Dell.com. But know that laptops can only hold 3GB of RAM.

i might just get a mac and buy this http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows … amp;sr=1-1
and run bootcamp for monkey jam and other software
also if i run bootcamp on it when i go to the windows portion will it have internet
Lol if you're gonna buy that why don't you get Adobe After Effects instead?
i think i will just get a macbook pro and adobe master collection CS3
Macs don't last long. There batteries suck real bad. Also, I know a few people who've gotten viruses on Macs.
Macs are not all powerful, they have their fair share of trojans and security holes.
They also aren't guarranteed to last a long time.
My thinkpad 380 has been going strong for a good... 12 years or so. I've known Macs to die quite quickly, but then again, I know people who are running (myself included) Macs over 6 years old.
Get what will work best for you, software, hardware, and personal preference wise.
a secret website i found 
aslo any recommended laptop's
i really want a good one that will last a while
can handle blender after effects
Personally, I'd pick the Mac. However, I'm not you and this is your purchase decision.
If all you're going to be running are Adobe Suite apps that could run just the same on Windows, I say save yourself a few hundred bucks and go with Windows. If there's some software Mac only that you want to run, the obvious choice is Mac.
well my dad jut said no windows for me
soooooooooo yeah
nevermind he said no computer
sooooo yeah
