Mac or PC...

[Techn9cianforlife]

Ok so recently the LED screen on my '08 Macbook cracked. For my birthday (August 16th) my parents offered to either 1. Fix the LED screen on my Mac or 2. Buy me a new laptop for $500 or less. I know there are some computer heads on this site...so I was wondering if I could get some opinions from you guys. Below is a picture of how bad (or not too bad, however you wanna look at it) my LED screen is. I've been doing SOME research and I've nailed it down to either Dell or HP if I were going to get a PC. Suggestions/Comments would be appreciated

P.S..the picture didn't post. Lol. IDK how to post pictures I guess.

That's how I'm feeling at the moment. I read most macbook's last about 5-6 years. Like I said, I've had mine for almost exactly 3 (June will be 3 cause I got it as a grad gift in 08). So I should have a good amount of life left. I jus need to find out if it's possible to set my computer back to factory settings..besides a few programs. (Firefox and Itunes.)

My HP lasted me 6 years. the only thing that stopped it was i traveled through Customs alot for school. The x-ray scanner fried the Hard drive on it. Mac's are pretty, sure, but they're way expensive for what they are. but for $500 you're prolly not going to get anything crazy either, but prolly a bit better than a macbook from '08.

keep the mac, but if i turns out they can't fix your screen or something.....
