broken

i did, i knew it was coming. and the day has come.

my laptop screen has gone kaput.

now i must make one of the biggest decisions, perhaps the biggest decision, of my adult life.

mac or tablet pc?

update: i ordered the mac (upped the ram to 4GB). also got a itouch to go with it (100% rebate for students going to school this sept).

    i’m wrestling with the same decision myself - i have an ibm laptop that i bought about three years ago and that has been pretty solid so far but i don’t know how long that will last. and so every so often i find myself itching to buy a new one, just in case . . .

    in my case however, it will always be another ibm. it’s just an awesome laptop.

    Tablet!

    Bro. uses Mac and isn’t very happy with it, nor are some other people that I know own it..

    So not a recommendation, but more like my vote is in for the Tablet! :D

    @maria - the tablet is very tempting, though i’m leaning towards the mac. if i order today, i can get the mac by the end of the week, with a free itouch no less. so that is also tempting.

    @iffatS - i must make a decision. probably will order today.

    and re title, it was purposely titled this way. =)

    hmm… the mac is 5lbs. and the tablet slightly heavier.

    also, mac airbook is 3 lbs (: and the pinch, swipe feature is to drool for.

    i’ll pinch and swipe on the itouch. =P

    macbook air is pretty, but functionally void. i’ll pass.

    falling and breaking, fine. how am i dying? i have plenty of life in me, praise the Lord, as much as life will let me.
