Unless you are a bit of a geek then don't buy a MacBook. I use mine to fuck around with Firewalls as Windows is terrible when it comes down to networking, especially Wireless. I could have just used uBuntu but got the Mac as a Christmas present off my parents. | |

As far as I know he's not wanting to do any obscure music editing so paying 3 times the price of an equivalent dell for something that does less is a bad idea. | |

Can't go wrong with Dell. Got three Inspiron 1520's in our house and they've been flawless. If we've had any problem what-so-ever Dell has just replaced whatever went wrong. | |

So my laptop is dying a painful death switching itself off when hot and just generally being slow.. Currently I have an acer aspire 5610 with upgraded ram to 4gb but still on normal xp |
