Re: decision derision

The most important part of any laptop is whether or not it fits you

+11ty billion

I had forgotten about this aspect, but yes...laptops are all about ergos...you'll spend 90+ percent of your time typing on it's keyboard and using it's mousing interface. Make sure you can live with them before deciding on one. For instance, some people can't keep their palms off of the macbook trackpad while typing and it would drive them bonkers. Others don't have warm enough blood in the ends of their fingers to be able to use some company's trackpads, and others can't stand the half-stroke or layout/stretch of some keyboards. Fit is probably as important as specs, unless you're planning on "docking" for more than half your time using it.

Also, one bonus to the Mac with having a little one around is the mag-safe power cord. I can't tell you how many times I've drunkenly stumbled over my powercord for the laptop only to thank the gods that it comes unplugged with zero force and doesn't harm the machine or pull it off of the table onto the floor.
