hahah wtf?

thats such bs

If you're about to blow a big sum for a mac, you should get a Lenovo instead.

These machines are rock solid and I am now a believer (I have one at work!).

Macs are annoying for anyone who've been using PCs and all of their usabilities... I feel chained when using a mac.

good luck!

I've had 3 ThinkPads and they are God's gift to portability.

2 T-series and 1 Z-series (replaced by modern T-series).

Go with a T and you'll drink milk and love life.

what is this notebook going to be used for?
if you look at software,hardware, and even over-all functionality, a PC is much more versatile in almost every sense.

if you go with a mac, all that's happening is you're paying more money, and you'll continue to pay more money in the future, for limited software and hardware. oppose to having a wide range of options for both of the aforementioned, with a pc (at a much, much cheaper price) and god forbid you need your notebook repaired,you might as well buy a new computer...where as a PC is much cheaper to maintain and upgrade. simple as that.

mac notebooks imo, are nothing more than an overrated fad.

and...I don't care what anyone says, this man knows what he's talking about!

I have a mac and I quite enjoy them. My reasons for choosing one were as follows.

I do a lot of scientific programming and as a result, I am frequently on a linux system. The mac has a nice unix (well free BSD) core under it and it interfaces well with those systems. I like the fact that I can pull up a terminal and have a unix terminal right there. I would have gone with a PC with a linux install except for reason number two. I like to mess around with music software and there is none that is good for linux and the mac OS has a lot of great software.

Basically, for me, the Mac was a good mix of what i needed. If you are going to get one don't get the MSN port available from microsoft. You can darwin port one of the linux clients and run it under OSX.
