An Apple a day keeps the Windows away?

Errr... why should we keep the Windows away, anw???

I like Windows XP Pro & Windows Mobile. Ok, I'm willing to change, hence I'm willing to switch from WinXP Pro to Windows Vista Business. In conclusion, I like Windows.

What if we can have both - Mac & Windows running in the same laptop with the same price? Tapi knp nak dua2 OS klu Windows saje pun dah cukup??? Ini lah yg memeningkan kepala aku skrg.

The point is I want a new laptop! The power & serious one... at reasonable & affordable price, of course.

This will be my 3rd laptop since I bought the 1st one on Dec 2002. I had the 1st one for 3 1/2 years & the 2nd which is the current one is just 2 years & 2 months old. The 1st one was Compaq which had costed me RM4,500 with genuine Windows XP Home but no CD-RW drive. It was big with 15" screen & quite heavy. Tired with the bulkiness & WinXP Home (reformatting to Pro would be a hassle since the drivers came with the OS installer), I traded it in for RM1,100 (not bad huh for 3 1/2 years old laptop... but that was 2 years ago) & bought 12" screen Twinhead laptop, the one that I'm using rite now at RM3,625, with no genuine OS.

That's it... I think I just have enough. No more new laptop for at least next 5 years. Kalau boleh selama-lamanya (I wish!). So, this time I have to think about it thouroughly.

I'm considering Sony VAIO & Apple MacBook.

I knew that Apple MacBook is capable of running Windows & has good reviews in forum or just Apple fanboyism with typical Windows-is-suck-Mac-is-cool statements, but I thought it would be expensive. Turn out, the price is about the same with the Sony Vaio SZ series (check out Saira's post for more info). Well, Sony has blindfolded-by-the-brand fanboys too. One way or another, I'm only considering these two.

Unfortunately, the RM5k SZ series is discontinued already by Sony. Kat Sony MidValley, model ni mmg dah takde. I called the shop where Saira bought hers, only 1 unit left. So, if I want it I have to be hurry. Or else, buy the RM8k one... dismiss.

I think I have made the decision. If the Vaio already out of stock or the tokey ngengada naik kan harga, then I'll buy MacBook. Let's the fate decides...

Errr... if I really want the Vaio, there is a way like trying making a deal through phone or just going to the shop tomorrow... I guess I need more time to think.

Vaio or MacBook???
