I want a laptop for my birthday or Christmas, but I can't decide between a Dell Inspiron 1420 or a Macbook.
I like the fact that the Inspiron you can pick what color you want, so it will be more me. But then the Macbook I'd probably just get white, which is kinda boring, although it's much sleeker and cool looking. My best friend has a Macbook and it's sooo cool. Like just the way it's set up, and now the new Leopard thing they are coming out with looks even cooler. Recently I was leaning more towards the Dell because I figured if it comes with Windows vista then it would be just as cool as Macs, but then I saw the new one for macs and now I want that one more. The only other concern would be price, but if I don't add more than I need to a Macbook, then they are pretty much in the same price range. I also saw for the new Leopard program for Macs that it has Bootcamp, which lets you run windows on it...but ahhh I still don't know. I wish i could get a Dell Inspiron with Mac Leopard on it. Arghhh! I really have no clue which one to choose. HELP! Which one is better?

You can even make windows look like a mac with a uxtheme.dll patch and an msstyle, or a shell replacement. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
