I am thinking seriously about buying a Lenovo computer as my next one. .
Would be a very good choice. Lenovo computers are very reliable (life wise) and they have recently been introduced to many retail stores.
1) I am a fan of Dell and have been brand loyal up to this point.
Not a fan. As a certified technician for the past 2 years i've noticed that atleast 70-75% of the computers brought in for us to fix are DELL
However, my mom really enjoys her Dell laptop. It's hard to tell what your really getting when you buy a computer anymore. Hell, they can last for 10 years or they can last for 2 days.
2) I am a fan of Apple products but a) don't feel like spending $1000+ on a computer right now and b) I would like to know how to operate it. I can do anything on a PC and I like to feel smarter than my computer.
I'm the same way. I would love to purchase a Macbook Pro, however the $1000+ price tag keeps me away. I understand what you mean on how to operate it. I was confused as hell when I first messed with one, but after a few hours you get the hang of it.
3) If you feel strongly about a particular computer (Mac or PC), here is your chance to persuade me.
I prefer Mac, but honestly, it's all about what you're using it for. I've sold computers for the past 3 years of my life, and for the majority of the customers I would NOT recommend a Mac. Why? Mainly because it seems like 80% of them are only using it for browsing the internet, downloading music, and storing pictures. There's no reason for me to recommend a $1200 laptop to these types of customers, they don't need it. Plus they would be utterly confused on how to use it.
I'll be enjoying my PC for the next year, but when time for grad school arrives, I'll be upgrading to a MacBook Pro.
As for which one you should get, that's up to you brother. Just ask yourself what your really going to be using it for, and if you think spending twice the $$ on one is worth it.
^ Agreed! Tiger will never have the type of play when he was in his prime. I do however think he will make a comeback and remain one of the top players in the world over the next 10 years. He WILL break Nicklaus all time major record.
I've had to work retail the past 3 years, ugh...Somehow I lucked up this year and got the morning off. I think I might go out and grab a few deals. However, most stuff I will be purchasing online.
Many of us have been in this same situation. I was overweight in high school but shortly after graduating I knew I had to change my eating habits. Ever since then i've sort of become a semi health freak.
My advice would be to start running a few days a week. Also throw in some weightlifting in you can, both will pep up your metabolism. Once you get in a nice groove of working out it can help motivate you to eat healthier. Plus working out will really change the way you act and feel. I've gone through a few tough times of depression, and can honestly say working out has been the best recovery method to a happier life.
The diet is the key to losing weight. I diet year around, but I don't call it a diet. I try to eat "clean" most of the time, but I do indulge when I go out to eat a few times a week. Eating every 3-4 hours of the day can really boost your metabolism. NOTE: BREAKFAST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL YOU NEED TO EAT! Many people skip breakfast, but eating breakfast will control the desire to overeat later in the day, not to mention rev up your metabolism.
My day of eating normally looks like this:
6:30am: 500 Calories
10:00am: 300 Calories
1:00pm: 450 Calories
5:00pm: 550 Calories
8:00pm: 250 Calories
I know ^ can be difficult due to scheduling issues, however there's many healthy snacks and drinks you can keep on hand throughout the day.
