| 667137 | 2008-05-08 01:44:00 | wratterus apples=asus and squashes=MBP?? probably similar/better quality= which one makes the better? I'm just thinking I might go MBP? NT Maybe apples = MBP?? Apple does make them anyway ;) I don't think we could call Asus a squash though... |

| 667138 | 2008-05-08 02:04:00 | Yes, the apple is Asus... I should have used a different example. The MBP is definitely a squash. I'm not quite with it today. Maybe a rock melon. Destructible. :p |

| 667140 | 2008-05-08 03:19:00 | We have an ASUS tablet (similar to a lappy though) and only had one problem - the latch to keep the screen down is broken. Remove the antivirus as soon as you get it though, it's Norton. :yuck: |

What is negative on MBP(except $$) and what is so good on ThinkPad? NT |

| 667144 | 2008-05-08 11:43:00 | Wait, are we talking about a MBP or the Macbook Air? Even if we are comparing a MBP, the specs that Vitalstatistix gave you START at $3198. For the same price (most of them are cheaper), I could get: www.einfo.co.nz Awesome: www.einfo.co.nz www.computerdirect.co.nz www.sigmapconline.co.nz www.softwareshop.co.nz pbtech.co.nz www.pbtech.co.nz AND, you aren't stuck with crappy OSX. Can't even maximize windows: WTH? |

Some of those look like decent machines and it gets harder for me to decide what I want to do in the next month or so . I have a Mac friend and he is a 200% Mac fan(and user for at least 4years) and he tries to convince me that MBP is the best of them! NT |
