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.

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. |

| 95% of the population has no reason for Linux terminal - and as such that should not be a reason for getting a computer. |
