Best Laptop Computer For All – The MacBook…Or Not?

posted in hardware, by Codrut Nistor


For me, the best laptop computer is... my desktop PC, but I can't deny the fact that, overall, people are moving from desktops to laptops. This is evolution, after all, and no matter how much we like it or not, things must move on, so today I won't complain about the various problems a laptop is likely have, and a desktop usually doesn't, but I will tell you about the best laptop computer for all - the MacBook!

No, no, no! Don't get me wrong, I am not one of those who are simply writing some paid articles, because this is far from my intention - I just spotted an interesting article on Freep.com, entitled "MacBooks: The notebook for all platforms," and I thought this is a good reason to write about the same topic. Why? Not because I fully agree with that article, but because I disagree with most of it!

Why disagree? Just look at the first paragraph
- "When it comes to a notebook computer with power that rivals a desktop and portable convenience that can do just about anything on any operating system platform, I have one suggestion that I truly believe fits everyone: Get a Mac."

Sure, but what about buyers on a budget? What about those who check their email, chat with some friends on the other coast a few hours per month and store their digital photos on CD/DVD discs, and nothing more?

Of course, those already used with various Windows applications could run Windows with Boot Camp or using Parallels, but it's not the same as the real thing. Just think about driving a race car on the deck of a carrier, and you get the picture or Windows on a Mac...

OK, OK, we all know the advice a bunch of so-called "specialists" are giving away for free - "buy a Mac," but I only have to tell you this - if you're looking for the best laptop computer for your needs, be sure to evaluate your needs properly, and you'll get your answer. After all, sometimes a tiny Asus Eee PC could be just as good for browsing and messaging, and a few times cheaper, so... feel free to drop a comment below and tell us what's the best laptop computer for your needs, will you?

As usual, I will tell you my secret - for now, my best laptop computer is the Lenovo ThinkPad T500, especially since the bargain price you can get it now for (only $999.00) makes it a better deal than a bunch of notebooks priced a few hundred bucks higher!

Well it is really a matter of preference, laptops based on Windows or PCs on my opinion have more applications developed for them, but if you need laptop for multimedia(like music, publishing) MAC probably would be a better choice.
