I got the HP Notebook 2000 in 2012 and it was fine for about 6 months until the hard drive started acting up. I don't remember why, but I had a warranty so I sent it to HP. Then just last summer the hard drive got messed up again and I haven't even bothered to go fix it. I don't know if it's worth it to fix again just so I'll have the same problem.

I'm going to college in the fall so I really don't want to deal with computer issues. I really want to get a Macbook Pro, but I'll have to save a lot of money for it and I'm not sure if it's worth all the money. Or should I just find a cheaper laptop? Any suggestions? :/
