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.
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.
mac, though i might get a thinkpad soon
wow.
that’s sort of bad news. what are you gonna do?
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! 
seeing the title, i was expecting a “fallen”-like post here.
@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. =)
Im thinking about this too. My gateway just broke so I have to get a new one. But it was like 4lbs (200ARC), so I woudln’t even feel it walking around. Now I am spoiled.
hmm… the mac is 5lbs. and the tablet slightly heavier.
‘you feel too fast, you feel too much’
is a line from a jann arden song; this falling, breaking, dying — wherefore, dost, wherefore!
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.
100% rebate ? can you get me one ?! =) pretty please..?
100% rebate only if you buy a mac. =)
@anjum - dude, you’re in america. get the iphone 3G when it’s out on july 11th.
yes! new mac user! SUCCESS!
i got a macbook last year - my first laptop ever, too - and lowve it.
congrats, yaara!
hope you enjoy your new toys.
