I need a new laptop, have roughly 1k to spend............and keep been told to look at the macbooks..........I'm from a Windows background but learning linux as I go along. So go on...............make me want a Mac :p
 
Wow, cheers for all the input guys..........seemingly positive too :)

So of the people that have moved over to a mac from a pc, is there anything you miss at all?

Also, not sure how feasible this would be but I was hoping for a small package for traveling with a reasonable battery life and the ability to play movies either straight from DVD (like a macbook) or ripped if need be (like the macbook air). Not fussed about gaming. It will be a glorified internet browser/media player/word processor :p

Cheers again everyone :)
 
Ok ok, so the mac route seems promising :) Right, so not being able to afford a pro what would you nice people recommend for my 1k budget. I keep being seduced by the air due to its ultra portability so if need be could scrape the bottom of the barrel for the air. And damn that backlit keyboard is damn sexy :p
 
hmmm I see you points actually.......... I'm just thinking of frequent flying trips I am having to make and how a smaller lighter package could be better. Ok, last question then I will stop bugging you guys :p

What is the battery life like on the macbook? I know there are quoted figures, but what do you all find is the average "actual" battery life for say Normal internet usage? What about dvd usage i.e. on a 2 hour European flight would the battery hold out for the length of a movie?

Cheers everyone for your help. You mac guys are even more friendly than the pc guys :p
