Macs are great and Sonys die within 2 years. With the mac always get the extended care plan.

Default Just bought one last weekend

I've had many Dell's....last I bought a HP used off a forum...big mistake.

I didn't have time to order it and have all the software....and wanted an XP machine. I got a Lenevo ThinkPad (I guess they bought out IBM?).....it's a nice machine that appears to be very durable.

I didn't want a HUGE wide screen laptop with a separate number pad, etc. This is a nice, heavy duty machine with a shock mounted HD, etc. $999.00 at Microcenter in Westmont. Every other machine had Vista which I won't do.

Default I have a Dell with onsite service, and a 3 year warranty. Solid performance.

The WiFi card was replaced once (within 24 hours of my call). Vista. Works great, fast.

Have a broadband card inside it, that works great, too.
