Q: cuz i need a new laptop that will last more than 2 yrs and will download songs, let me watch movies without getting overheated and turning off, and research
A: Apple laptops generally last longer than other brands. They will last more than 2 years. The resale value on a Mac is better than a Dell. If you buy a Dell for $1300 now and try to sell it 2 years later you might get $600. A 2 year old Mac at $1300 could get you $900.
