Who said the truth will set you free! You know I would have mentioned the Mac Book Pro or even an iBook but I have been accused - unfairly I think - of promoting the cult of Mac here so I passed up the opportunity to pour young Mike a nice refreshing glass of Steve Jobs brand koolaid.

Macbooks are just crazy expensive. To get one with a 15.4" screen you're looking at $1600 and up. Compare that to $500 to $800 for a non-mac. That's a pretty serious difference, eh?

I just bought my wife an HP at Future Shop for $700. It has a 15 inch monitor, which is plenty big to watch movies when it is next to you. Plenty good for surfing too. I also bought a wireless mouse for it also. The navigation with the touchpad is terrible to get used to when you been using a mouse a long time.
