Yeah i agree go get a Macbook... Best of both worlds... You can get WinXP or Vista AND Mac OS...

and btw... Asus makes the Macbook Pros... Foxconn makes the Macbook yata... or could be the other way around...

Sony Vaio.

I'd go for Toshiba as my top pick followed by IBM, Dell, and Mac. At the end of the day make sure you get something which hopefully will still be good enough a year or 2 down the line.

Specs I'd get would include the ff.
1. Intel Core 2 Duo (2 ghz)
2. Memory at least 1 Gig
3. Intel chipset 950
4. 80 gig hard drive with 7200 rpm
5. Top of the line LCD panel
6. DVD writer

medyo OT: Protective cover sa the notebook keyboards:

di ba palaging narurumihan ang keyboard ninyo dahil sa alikabok, bread crumbs, crawling insects dahil sa bread crumbs, at ang masama ay liquid spills -coffee, soda and water?

ang solution? naglagay ako ng clear plastic (from ziploc) over the keyboard which i secure with magic tape all around. ayun 1 year ko ng ginagamit ay malinis pa rin ang keyboard at walang problema sa mga foreign objects. bago pa rin ang keys at hindi burado. syempre every once in a while ay palit din ako ng plastic dahil lumalabo din sa kalumaan. just me.

May nabibiling ganyan for Macs, ang problema pansin ko lalong umiinit yung mainit ng laptop.

it goes down to how much do you want to spend and what do you use it for (i.e. online, gaming, spreadsheet, video editing, etc.)

also, the notebook technology is fast evolving.. there's always a new model out every 6 months..

macbook is great, but it still isn't core 2 duo (or is it already?)

check out dell.com.hk

the XPS 1210 is out. core 2 duo for under 70k (9000 HKD).
