<p>Which one do you think is better? My mom said she would get me a laptop for my birthday, and I have no idea what to get! I really like the macbook because it looks cool haha, but I've been using windows all my life.</p>
<p>Which do you think is better? Any other laptops I should consider?</p>
<p>Thanks! :D</p>

<p>thats exactly why i hate people at my school. </p>
<p>It depends on what she does/what she is used to. If she just does normal stuff like surfing the web, I would go with a dell or HP or something. Vaio's tend to be more expensive, but aesthetically pleasing.</p>
<p>No, the laptop is for me. haha
Pretty much all I would use it for is the web and AIM, and maybe photoshop programs and stuff like that.</p>
<p>Looking cool or aesthetically pleasing is a perfectly valid reason to buy product A over product B or vice versa. In fact, an intelligent consumer would NOT go online, search laptops, and pick the cheapest one. They would consider their needs, what they want from a laptop, and the price premium they would pay to get what they WANT rather than need. If you value aesthetic beauty in a product, and you're willing to pay the premium, so be it. There's nothing shallow, stupid, or petty about it. I've seen people choose different products for worse reasons.</p>
<p>Get the Macbook. I have a macbook pro and I really love it.</p>
<p>Get the Vaio The macbook is not that great and you will be limited by a lot of things, especially if you are doing engineering.</p>
<p>Macbook. MACBOOK.</p>
<p>^ Die, infidel.</p>

<p>The people have spoken.</p>
<p>Macbook!!!!!</p>
<p>umm...neither.</p>
<p>This is a broad question.</p>
<p>What is your budget?
What will you use it for?
Are you familiar with Mac OS X?</p>
<p>If its for general purpose, either will be fine. A Macbook starts at about $1000, while the cheapest vaio starts at $800. Mac OS X takes some time to get used to, but its a comparable (and decent) operating system.</p>
<p>BTW, judging a laptop based on appearance is shallow. (This is coming from a person with both a Vaio and a Macbook :p)</p>
<p>A macbook is definitely something you do no want to waste your time with...</p>
<p>It is not shallow. Why is it that every time someone judges something or someone on aesthetics, they become shallow? They just value aesthetics more than anything else. So be it.</p>
<p>Macbook: 4
Viao: 1
Neither: 2
Either: 1
Not a Macbook: 1</p>
<p>The people still have spoken.</p>
<p>it's not over till it's over</p>
<p>macbook. try to get the pro if possible, macbook is alright also. </p>
<p>SONY VAIOS ARE NOT WORTH THE MONEY YOUR PAYING IT FOR.</p>
<p>What about my paying it for?</p>
