Help
I'm looking to buy a new laptop, and I need some advice. I was all set to make the plunge from PC to MacBook now that I use a Mac at work, but I've gotten some advice against it. What should I get?
Requirements:
-very small - no bigger than 13-14 inches, no heavier than 5-6 pounds
-at least 80 GB of storage
-at least 1 Ghz of memory
-price - $1000-$1500
HELP!

The new macbooks (w/ intel core 2 duos) are supposed to be very good indeed. Just make sure you buy the warranty! Mac hardware can be sketchy...
L, what are you looking to do with this pc? Let me assume that you will use it to surf the web, download/listen mp3 (ipod/itunes), email, writing documents (word), maybe spreadsheets once in a while (excel)
Stick with usability and hip, get the 13-inch macbook. It has a 120 gig drive and 1 gig of ram and it's $1299... It obviously has built in wireless and should fit your needs. My bro's a pilot for Continental and he takes this thing everywhere. Just make sure they don't sell it with a defective sony battery. You don't want it to explode.
If you have any questions, you can ask me directly. I have plenty of experience with this... rparedes@gmail.com
Dell XPS M1210. 80GB, 5 LBS, 12 in screen, 1G RAM. Starts at 1299, they usually have specials online. I personally can't stand MAC's, once the hardware goes you're screwed. Dell offeres extended parts warranties, so if you have a geek (or are coming to Chicago) they can install it for you. If you have questions, feel free to contact me lokipro@comcast.net or http://www.myspace.com/lokipro.

Dell support sucks. Seriously sucks. I'll never buy a Dell again.
Sorry, I don't know why anyone would recommend you buy a Dell unless they don't know anything.. Support is terrible, parts are cheap, enough said.
I"ve been working with Dell PC's for over 5 years, if you know how to replace the parts yourself, you don't need their support. Nice of you to say I don't know anything, yet you don't leave your name...
