Laptop! (13th Jan 09 at 4:50am UTC)
I think I finally want a laptop. ^_^. I have a budget of 1000 - 2000 USD. I cannot seem to think of getting a MacBook Pro or a Vista Laptop. There seems to be a lot of debates of both going back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. What would you recommend and why?

MacBook Pro - its stabler and Leopard is hotter than Vista - plus you can always dual boot into Vista on it!

Get Vista! You can always make other OS's into Virtual Machines! (Windows 7 does not work not sure if Leopard does or not.)

I say get Vista for now, upgrade to Windows 7 when it's released; until then, dual-boot Unbuntu.
