Apple MacBook Notebook — 

I never thought I would buy a Mac, ever. I heard some great reports from friends, and even noodled around a bit ... but it always seemed the price point was just too high for me to justify.

Then my laptop died right about the same time Vista came out. I wanted no part of that, and buying a laptop only to re-install XP on it seemed like a waste. I have a unix background and had been debating just putting Linux on a Dell or something, but couldn't find a comperable laptop (size wise) for the price, really. I paid $999 (MacMall) for the 2Ghz model with a small (60GB hard drive) and then bought 2GB of ram on eBay for $225.

I honestly have never been happier with a computer. It responsive, intuitive, and just plain nice to use. It almost never crashes or needs to be re-booted and my wireless network never disconnects anymore, ever.

Vive le Macbook!

I just love it when a Windows person becomes a Mac fanatic! I have worked on both Windows and Macs and when asked what to buy, I will always tell them an Apple as they are so much easier to use. It also amazes me when some one comments on some of the features of Vista, I just smile and say "Been doing that for years on the MAC"

Took the jump almost a year ago - haven't looked back. OS X has been a breath of fresh air after a decade and a half on Windows. Good choice trippytom.
