| 191066 | 2003-11-11 23:19:00 | Hi , I am currently looking for a new laptop for myself . It will be mainly used for broadband internet surfing , watching DVD movies ; sometimes word process but barely gaming . Which one would be more suitable for me ? (without the price factor ) Which one has higher software processing speed overall ? Thanks! | scottiedave (4861) | ||

If you have games for windows they will not work with an apple. Probably the best bet is to go and have a look at them both in a shop and have a play. | rsnic (3780) | ||
