[QUOTE="Phoenix Scanner, post: 446540, member: 30648"] My xp laptop died and I went shopping. First vista laptop with amd proc: slow, and locked up, returned it.....second vista laptop, crashed and wouldn't recover after two days, was slow when it ran...third vista laptop (sony vaio) fairly quick, 1.5 minute startup, poor wifi quality, took it back....then I said SCREW IT! Despite the sales people at Frys telling me not to get a mac, I made the leap. It takes 15 SECONDS to startup, and doesn't have all the virus/spyware issues, and rarely does a program lock up. When it does, FORCE QUIT ALWAYS WORKS. The same could not be said for control alt delete in windows, where often a restart was needed. So glad I switched. While the mac is no gaming machine, and I have to keep an old windows box around for my AutoCAD work, all of the things I love to do are done on my macbook. Wife loves it too. If I had to decribe it in one word it would be, STABLE. Of course, with an OS built on the UNIX core, that shouldn't come as a surprise. As I mentioned to a mac hater the other day, UNIX is what runs our phone systems, the internet, as well as super-computers. Microsoft can't touch unix for stability and security.
