| 766616 | 2009-04-20 23:11:00 | Neither. :) In my opinion apple equipment is too overpriced to make it a really viable contender, but if you want an apple, go get one that looks nice, there's not a huge science involved in choosing one as there are not multiple manufacturers like windows laptops have. If you want a windows laptop, get an Asus or Toshiba. Vaio have one of the highest failure rates of any laptop manufactuer, and repairs are very expensive. What do you want the laptop for? Is there a cost/size restriction? |

| 766618 | 2009-04-20 23:14:00 | Well the major difference is one will run OSX and the other will run Windows, probably Vista. If you've narrowed your choices down to those 2 laptops, you should choose the one with the operating system you like the most. However, you can still install windows on the macbook using boot camp, and its specifications look better than the other one. |

| 766619 | 2009-04-20 23:15:00 | Welcome to PressF1, Thomas. The real question you should be asking yourself is "What will I be using the notebook for?" closely followed by "How available and expensive are the program I will need to use on the notebook?". This being a primarily PC-oriented forum, most answers may lean towards the Vaio.... Buena suerte! |

It's free (as long as you have OSX obviously) I don't know if you can upgrade the memory and hard drive on the Macbook. |
