buy macbook, with extended memory...and install parallel os XP,vista or win7.0 using VM 5.0

I am not against Mac but I will never buy one because of its cost (unless it reduces its price comparative to other laptops such as Dell, HP, Toshiba). Being in a software industry, I feel buying a Macbook is paying extra Apple Tax (thats what I call for its high price). If you want to show off to your friend and don't care about the price, go for it. But if you are looking for the specs (comparative) buy either Dell, HP or Toshiba. You can get a good laptop in descent price. The choice is up to you........ Enjoy!!

mac  is overpriced.  it  is sleek and sexy.  dont  know  about  durable and  trustworthy, but  what use is  durable and  trustworthy  when it gets  outdated  every  6 months- a year?

I dont know why you guys are making such a big discussion.. For what purpose you wanna buy laptop? Is it just household purpose (email, online videos, music, movies etc) or something enterprise level of use (e.g. developer's tool, utilities?).  If it is for household use, get something upto 2GB RAM, 160GB+ Hard Disk, 1.7GHz+ Intel Processor.. For enterprise use, go for higher RAM at least 4GB RAM, and higher speed.  Few facts you should know- 1. No matter what brand you buy, average lifetime of a laptop is 2 years. Some hardware issue appears after that period (Ironically, your warranty expires by that period). so RULE 1- LAPTOP'S LIFE IS 2 YRS whatever you buy.. 2. Don't go for too big hard disk size. No matter what  is the size of storage, it is always less - one day, it will be full. Larger hard drives create issues, and they add extra weight.. Something around 200GB would be perfect. so RULE 2 -  NO BIIGGG HARD DRIVES. 3. Hight graphics ? Video Games? Desktop virtualization? Go for higher RAM. Rather go for Mac.. otherwise, DELL is fine.They have better / robust peripherals. 4. Don't spend more that 700 bucks in a laptop. 5. Don't shut down (turn off) laptop too often. Internally, it does lots of flushing/restoring work during shutdown/startup process. Rather just close the lid and it goes into hybernation.. Thats good. You should shutdown/restart once in a while for updates or after scanning.

ANS You must be buying crappy laptops with life of 2 years. My IBM thinkpad is crossing 3 year and I abused it lot for many trips to Nepal and all over the place. Still it runs like a butter. On the other hand my nephew's Dell is dead in 16 months. It is just "what you pay what you get" rule. . But I agree with your other  comments as the buyer has to know what he needs the laptop for and depending on the need laptop type can vary ranging from $300 to $5000.

@ gothalo browyou are right...Nice to know www.microcenter.com rocks...got 200off on new macbook

annmys · Feb 20, 2010 2:11 PM

macbook is NOT over hyped. i dont know if it was the hw or the os itself but from my usage i noticed that macbook is a lot better in terms of performance than most other laptops with similar configs. 

csoul · Feb 21, 2010 8:21 AM

u can  buy lenovo thinkpad sl500  and its pretty cheap if u by a refurbished one. i just bought one for 500 bucks but its now 400 . you can go to www.outlet.lenovo.com and use the filter for lenovo sl 500. refurbished doesnt make any difference,  its just that they were opened once.

hiwould you please tell me a website to  free download   words on macbook? thanks

I bought Macbook Pro prior to last Christmas and have been very much enjoying it.  No crashes, no virus, no Windows problems.  Very smooth in every respect.  I got the $1400 version.  But Macbook can be had for less than $1000.  I recommend Macbook.

http://download.openoffice.org... Please use open office to download MS Office Suite. If you want more software please install Ubuntu by installing some VMware http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbunt... u can get all software for free. I like the Mac hardware and Ubuntu software so if you get the combination then I think u won't have any problems

If you aren't doing anything that requires a lot of processing power (including having a ridiculous amount of programs running at the same time), Acer aspire 5532 is awesome. It's biggest selling point is its price. It has great specs but only a single core processor. At just over $300 you can't go wrong. It's gotten good reviews and even if something were to happen to it, it's cheap so it won't be the end of the world. Personally, I would go for a mac if I was spending more than a few hundred bucks.
