Either a Macbook or Macbook Pro. Truth is, the only tangible difference between the two latest generations is the screen size. Plus, as has been said many times, if you want to use Windoze, it runs natively on any Intel Macbook or if you want to use Crossover (like me), you can run your Windoze programs in the OSX Finder.

One final note: Latest count for Windoze viruses - 148,354. Latest count for OSX viruses - 0. Since I first started using OSX 10.0 in 2000, I've never installed a virus program, and have never needed one.

Flame on world, flame on...

Got my macbook pro about a year and a half ago and have never looked back. Now looking to get an iMac. Mac's are definitely more user friendly less problems/more reliable in the long run. Get the macbook, and enjoy it!

That virus argument really doesn't cut it. There are well over 1000 human affecting diseases in the world. How many do I have just by being human? erm none. Just because they're there, doesn't mean you'll get them... Unless you go round eating raw sewage and stabbing yourself with dirty needles...Same with a PC. Common sense is all you need.
Like I have 148 354 viruses on my PC.

About that...interesting

ooh! go dale! lol

edit. I'm about to build a hackintosh. Damn it

Wow I wish all my threads got this kind of attention I feel sorta special. Here's the lowdown so far if I'm correct.

Mac = No viruses and expensive
PC = Viruses

I'm not really afraid of viruses as much as I am impressed with performance and tweakability.

OS wise I know OSX is much more stable than XPp (lets not even talk about the V word, that should be erased from all computer history) but i feel i can do more with XP especially hacking wise(I may be wrong). But ever since Apple turned intel, OS hasn't been hardware limited.

I've heard good things about Vaios and MBPs (Personally MBPs look cooler and yes that's important!) but as a college student price is important as well. I'm probably also going to be doing some gaming.

So I guess it would come down to the stress test. What notebook would really have the most under the hood?

*ding ding* carry on

[dale1v]

from what I've heard, Vaios are terrible lol. You'll probably get a student discount with Apple on a MacBook pro...but it'll still be expensive.

A Mac Defiantly fits your case.


But laptops are all basically the same durability wise ( Except for that one kick @ss one that like, looks like a brief case, and you can spill water on it, drop it, and it can hold like 250lbs. of pressure ( forgot the name, but thats not cheap either im sure )
lol


But get a mac, and you got a windows too.

I have kind of a noob question to ask about bootcamp. Is boot camp a Virtual Machine or is it just a means of dual booting?
