Don't bash Macs. I generally would prefer a dual parition with Windows 7 on a 13 in MacBook Pro. Best of both worlds.

Otherwise, get a laptop with (like others have said) i5 or higher, (not AMD). It should have a number pad and make sure you have a good place to put it where it can easily get air to the fan.

But Ubuntu hasn't[/quote]

Everything has a disadvantage. Macs are expensive and I hear their programs are too. They can also be quite confusing for Windows users to switch over. (Yes I don't find them 'simple to use'. To each his own eh?)

Macs look pretty and are nice if you don't mind paying through the nose.

Windows is the most common Operating System in the world and therefore has more viruses written for it.

But it's easy to get pre-built ones cheaply, and if you want can make your own computer (This applies to ubuntu and the entire GNU/Linux operating systems). Being the most common OS it has a majority stake in programs.

Ubuntu often requires use of the Terminal. (And it's mean't to be the most user friendly GNU/linux distributation).
And he's talking about a laptop here, 11.04 can keep your fans all constantly on a laptop. (I have it installed on my laptop and it does this)


So:

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Mac is simple and easy to use, not much can go wrong. In Windows, more stuff can go wrong, but the OS makes up for this with much more options and possibilities. That's how I'd describe it in a nutshell. A Windows PC is more versatile (unless you are running boot camp :P).]]></content>

You don't really need a laptop that lasts 10+ years. By five years the laptop is obsolete and you'll have to buy a new one anyway, and besides, I have to Windows operated laptops from 2001 and 2005 and they're still running strong. :|]]></content>
