what's with the fake address? are you foolishing insinuating that a child's toy "Barbie Laptop" is an equal comparison to an HP? Any HP from it's inception is better than that barbie 'laptop', but every mac (since they switched to intel) has been better than every HP. the os, ever since OS X, has always been better. Before OS X, it was horrible. Before intel, it was slow and frustrating; nearly as frustrating as the claims that it was faster lol. funny topic though. i think i rambled.

The Barbie laptop runs Linux rather than Windows, far better that any HP to date in my opinion.
