[QUOTE="Kash, post: 467702, member: 23444"] You're right about the Sleep function on a Mac annihilating the Windows equivalent. Hands down, there's no competition. I absolutely love how I can shut the lid, throw the laptop in my bag, and be out the door in seconds and [B]know[/B] that I'll be able to open it up at my next class and pick up right where I left off without any problems. I can't have the same assurance with a Windows machine. As for battery life, I range between 4 and 6 hours, depending on whether Wi-Fi is on or not, along with the brightness of the screen. So in class I generally have the Wi-Fi turned off (unless I'm plugged in) and have the brightness turned all the way down so that I can get around 6 hours, which is great for about 3 classes in case I don't have access to a socket all day. If you can wait long enough to afford it, I would highly recommend a Macbook for school. [/QUOTE]
