Let's Get Impulsive

Alright, alright. My PC is PC of Shit.

Let's say I'm feeling impulsive enough to run out and get a Mac of the laptop variety.

Suggestions?

Hey Anne,
I have had several PC's over the years, last count was 9 before oving to Pittsburgh. I now have a PC and a Mac (G5) as seen on apple.com. I have been building/working with computers since 1981 and the Mac G5 I got may of 2005. I have to say Mac is far more superior than any PC I have ever owned. if you dont put virtual PC on your mac (a program windows users like to install on their mac) THen you have a Virus free machine that cant catch viruses. No need for virus protection software, malware protection, spyware protection etc. ok ok..the comparisons:
PC - 2.0ghz processor, 512M ram, Pipeline burst cache 2 50G HD's 64M AGP graphics card.
Mac G5 1.8Ghz processor, 256M ram160G HD

My Mac runs 10 times faster and better than my PC. I've even tried to crash my mac by running a DVD, streaming video over the net, 15 browswer windows open, running Second Life 3D virtual chat, and 3 Quicktime movie clips all at the same time, couldn't crash it. you cant even come CLOSE to doing that on a pc with twice the guts of the mac. and I have only had to reboot my mac 6 times since I bought it in may of '05.
My Sggestion, for a virus free, blue screen of death free, trouble free, life of relaxing and enjoyment, Get a MAc:)

Don't know what your needs are, but if you're not editing a lot of video or performing other super-memory-intensive tasks, one of the new MacBooks should do you fine. With the new intel chips you can boot up on either Mac or Windows, if you still want a crappy OS to attract viruses and crash all the time.

The new MacBooks seem to be having a few problems, from what I've read. (Staining, over heating, etc.) Maybe you can catch a bargain on one of the older iBooks. (I agree with my homey Nina-- Powerbooks seem to be for movie/music editing/hardcore computer shit)
