Less style, perhaps. I personally think Macs are more of a Fad Computer than anything else. I have a Black MacBook, and MacBook Pro.

I also have a Lenovo x61 and x300. My two Lenovos will run circles around my Macs in terms or battery life, power, reliability, and strength. I have dropped my x61 several times, and in every case, I can pick it up and have it still run. My MacBook Pro, not so much. It got dropped, the hard drive died, and the casing has a sizeable dent in it....

Less performance my @$$. Its better performace because of the software on it. If it were running windows, it would be the same as pretty much any other laptop....


Don, you got AIM? I gotta chat with you about uhhh..... Dual booting.

Sony Vaios are known for overheating and toasting the HDD. My firm had a major problem with over 100 Sony Vaios and all were replaced at least twice during the lease period by Sony for meltsowns and HDD BBQ's.

We went to a split of Lenovo and Dell and so far to major FUBARs...

My laptop is slated to be shipped out the 17th. Dell says its " in production" which usually means they are building the thing. However, my laptop is a "previously ordered new" ( never turned on by the purchaser, pretty much canceled mid shipment after it was built). So it should be sitting on a shelf, I bet once they confirm my payment it will be on a truck to me tomorrow or as scheduled.

My brothers friend has a MacBook Pro, and he dropped the thing, and it survived the fall, it bent the thing, but it sprung back into shape shortly after. I have had very few problems with my iBook, so I am a Mac fan for life...

I'm installing my needed software and some other stuff to rip the music off my iPod back to iTunes.

I need to get an external hard drive now

The 9 cell battery is awesome, it came out of the box with a full charge and I have 5 hours 46 minutes left on it at my current rate.

now to set up windows aero and its good to go. plus uninstall all of that trial software
