I'm going to be getting a new laptop in the next couple of weeks, and I was wanting to get everyone's opinions - are you a mac person or a PC guy? I've been in a school where there are a lot of macs, and I was giving serious thought to getting one - a MacBook or MacBook Pro. I haven't closed the idea of a windows either, so please, make your argument for your side.

For the Mac fans, I'd like to know - what's the big difference between the MacBook and the MacBook Pro?

It's okay...I left a link in General Discussion, that way people can still see it there.

I've never owned a Mac, so I couldn't really compare them.

I'll give you the same advice I usually give.

If you want a toy to play games, get a PC. And invest in a good anti-virus software and keep your anti-virus definitions up to date. Or if you really into games get a game console instead.That's what they're made for....plus you can play on the big screen.

Alsao invest in a good system maintenance diagnostic and repair software.

If you want a stable, reliable, heavy-duty, user friendly computer.......get a Mac. If you could afford it.
Good thing no cheap, cheap thing no good.

As for the difference between Macbook and MacPro. MacBook I believe is laptop. MacPro is desktop.
The desktop series of course will have a greater capacity with regard to storage, processors and upgrade flexibility.

He means MacBook Pro's are bigger, heavier, and much more powerful. In regards to my two cents. I like my PC. I'm not a huge Vista fan (although I have it), but I just like it better than Mac. Everything seems more in place to me. Whenever I try to use a Mac it feels very foreign.

I like Toughbooks. I like to be able to throw my laptop around. Anything military issue seems good enough for me.

Yeah, it's good to have experience with a Mac before you buy one. A bunch of girls from my high school got Macs for college because they were "cute" and whatnot but they can't do the simplest shit on 'em. I had one girl asking how to copy and paste on a Mac.
