[BC] Laptop Reccomendation Needed...

[Broadcast List]

As I was reading, the Apple MacBook Air came to mind until I read  
about the budget.

A MacBook would be a good choice.  Not AS light, not AS small as the  
Air, but has everything else.  PLUS, if you are serious about the  
memory (RAM) it has the Santa Rosa chip set, and Apple says it takes  
4 GB of RAM.  Not so, IT WILL TAKE 8 GB!  A friend of mine had 8 GB  
in his MacBook for about two weeks as a test for a RAM manufacturer.   
It worked great.  However, the 4 GB cards are currently pretty  
expensive.  I think that RAM costs more than the computer, but at  
least we know it will support it once the price comes down.

It comes with Mac OS X.5 and Darwin Unix, and will run Windoz if you  
HAVE to run it.
