Anyone basing their decisions on a logo needs a headcheck -- no argument there.

My main point was that the Macbook is a solid offering at a good price. And that Vista is a better OS then XP. As I've said in many of the other similar threads: if you want a laptop, consider the Macbook; if you want a desktop, custom built for Vista is the best bet.

My personal recommendation for people who are buying a new PC is getting a laptop with an external monitor, keyboard and mouse. You get a portable machine, 2 effective monitors and the benifits of both worlds. The only thing lacking is gaming performance which most people don't require -- and those that do already know what they need.
