Vapor 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 go with a macbook, they are the perfect consumer notebook. They have 13 inch widescreen displays which is perfect for portablity and usablity. They have a great chip in them (2.0 ghz dual core intel processor). They are beuatiful, and they come with the best commercial operating system avalible today, OS X.

Miike 1 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 Unless you need it ASAP I'd hold off on that for a few months. why would you hold off? Newer technology coming out daily. Simple as that. I was looking for a laptop since March, and so far i've come across the new Apples, and a few other nicer ones. Its not something you want to rush because you could get stuck with something you don't like. You need to shop around first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need to shop around first. thats not the reason... its because the macbook is a new product line and its a good idea to let them work the bugs out before you make the plunge... although I think I am making a purchase... tommarow...

If you have wireless internet in your house already then you must have a wireless router. All you would most likely have to do is open it up and start surfing the net. It should have an intergrated wireless card in it already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
