I really like my new HP Laptop, it has the 10-key keypad which I need for work. $1,000 less than a comparable MacBook Pro, plus I don't meet the "coolness" factor yet. My iPhone gets embarrassed to be seen with me when i pull it out. my HP Notebook EDIT: A story from a MacStore visit. A cute girl was at the service "bar" trying to get her G4 macbook serviced. The service "dude" (you have to really have to look the part at this particular store) told her that the HD was dead and that they could replace it for $400 (which you could get online yourself for $75). She sighed and said, "well I really need it so I guess so. Could we upgrade the memory while we're at it?" The "dude" actually spit/laughed at her, "UPGRADE? HA!! No, we don't upgrade these. I could give you a $15 trade in, if you wanted to buy a new MacBook Pro." Which reminded me of the greatest Mac vc PC argument I have ever witnessed . . . . Mac guy: You know what you never see with a Mac? SPYWARE!!! PC guy (actually, like me an indifferent, best deal guy): Yeah, you know what you also never see with a Mac? FREEWARE!!!
