<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

Hey, guys. There's a very small chance that anybody is going to see this, but maybe somebody can help me out. I've been looking to buy a laptop for a while now, but there are a lot of options. I've always been a Mac user, and I almost feel it would be blasphemous for me to get anything *but* a Mac, but I'm a broke college student who can't afford to shell out a few grand for a new laptop. Plus, I've been meaning to get more into PC gaming as I've always liked it better than console gaming anyhow. Now, I'm not excepting most laptops to be able to handle a lot of the games I'm interested in, but I would like to be able to try some stuff out. So, any ideas?
<bot>: I want a laptop for school and gaming, but I'm too broke to buy a Mac and I don't know anything about laptops. Help.
