I'm going to be travelling/moving to Asia in about 2 months or so and I'm looking to get a laptop. So I need something light and portable. I don't want a one of those 17" behemoths that are the size of the starship enterprise.
Macbook or Pc laptop?
If I get a macbook would be a problem to use in Asia? Or would it be a better idea to get a Pc laptop? Ideally I'd like to spend 1200 or less.
I don't play games, so all I'd really need is to download stuff, surf web and maybe fiddle with some music programs. I'm thinking that since I don't play games i can sacrafice some processor speed for more memory?
Thanks. |

I have a powerbook and an IBM Lenovo ThinkPad T60P.
The only thing i like more about the T60p is the fingerprint security LogIn. |

If you arent going to play games then go with a Mac...
I only use my PC now when I play games, I just find the Mac more suitable for music and everyday objectives. |

Why not consider buying one there? Notebooks in Asia are usually a LOT smaller (if you think the current line of Apple is small, wait until you see some of the ones there [fujitsu, toshiba..]).
Not sure about prices, though. Also, you'd have to consider about OS language (if it's OSX, it's easy to switch, but it's probably cheaper at home) and software issues. |

| And many many more dollars too. Well, at least in Japan they are. The average household in japan doesn’t even have a computer or washer/dryer. Electronics are expensive as hell and yet there are huge flat screens everywhere at outside malls and stuff, it’s weird. But then again, I was there like 7 years ago. Maybe things are different now. Where in Asian are you going? |
