Initially I bought it for reasons you'd probably find insane - I sell laptops and usually ended up selling the one I was using when I ran out of stock so spent a load of money on one so I'd keep it. Went with the Pro because the plastic Macbook felt flimsy in comparison and my laptops have a hard life. The OS is unimportant to me, I'm happy with Windows or Linux and Mac OSX is very Gnome like so was quite familiar. For me, despite the fact that I no longer am enthusiastic about computers as I once was, due to doing it for a living, I've found the thing has grown on me. Price? Made from solid aluminium, 7hr battery life with an expected 2 year life giving >80% of original its not really that expensive. It was only about �100 more expensive than an equivalent decent named Windows based laptop although they did have larger hard drives. -- Conor www.notebooks-r-us.co.uk |
