o0lololol
Lol
I figure that if you can't laugh at yourself...BTW, don't get the ASUS UL30, the HP DM1030 or the Toshiba T130. I've tried them all in the last three weeks. I'm trying to get a new work laptop. They all had some problem with them (speed, performance, heat, battery, etc). Ah well, I guess I'm spoiled. I picked up a new 13" unibody instead.

olololol!
oloollolo so true
You probably never owned one either, right? Like 99% of everyone else that says they don't like them. LOL!
Meh. You get used to the people who are outspoken, but not experienced. It's as if I started talking about how shitty Omega's Project is...without every actually trying it.
Have you tried the new ones with the battery life? I've been trying a few laptops over the past few months to replace my work laptop. I'm afraid that the PC ones don't have a good mix of performance, speed, and the price point They've got one or the other, but not both in the same package.
I had good hopes for the SU7300 chipset. Ah well, I figure that we'll try again next year.

I played with them a little at the mac store. Don't own one the. I just picked up the new 27" imac. I really like it.
My cousin has one of the new macbooks and he has nothing but great things to say about it.

I'm about 85% converted to this X200 tablet + Windows 7 now. It's not bad. Being asked if I want to run this or that program is annoying. I still don't have an anti-virus program yet either, so I get new messages daily from some "Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox" about how at-risk my computer is.
My dell M6400 laptop is still a total pain in the ass. Dell puts all those proprietary utilities like "ConnectionPoint" that overrides default Windows functions (i.e. wireles networking and power management).

That is awesome I have always been a big thinkpad fan. Are you looking for AV for business or for personal use.
lol!
Funny thing is...If I did a quick search I could probably find 100's if not 1000's of posts from you talking about how bad macs are.

Lol ortiz must be a mac user in denial
nah bro, he only hates on them cuz he can't afford one.
you hate them, don't lie!
okay, here's what I like about my mac.
1.) fast
2.) Awesome picture (high res)
3.) Photoshop cs4 is 100x better than cs4 on PC
4.) no spyware/viruses
5.) it looks cool (yeah, I said it)
6.) all in one (less clutter)
7.) Upgradeable (a lot of all in ones aren't)
8.) The interface with mac is just plain awesome
and really, when you compare it to other all in one computers...the mac isn't that much more. Before I bought this I was looking at a few HP Touch Smarts and they are similiarly priced. Except my mac was a lot more but I went with a 27" display and if I recall the biggest HP was 23 or 24" and even then was only a couple hundred cheaper.
When you think about how much time, money, energy, and lost productivity is tied to that issue in Windows PC boxes, that's a GIANT advantage. I use only Ubuntu on my personal laptop (Suse before that) and I never had to worry about any of that stupid shit.
This is the problem with PC's, and something the new Windows stores should be looking at correcting themselves. All these dumbass PC vendors (Dell, Gateway, HP, etc.) dump all this useless bullshit onto their rigs because of some half-assed deal with all those software makers and it completely fucks up the PC experience.
PC's should be made to order piece by piece, by at least someone who knows what the fuck they're talking about.
And on a side note, I always thought it was kinda ironic that Microsoft allows such freedom on Windows PC's as far as software/hardware configurations go, but their philosophy with Xbox runs virtually parallel to that of Apple. Make a closed box system with a bunch of proprietary add ons and charge people a premium markup for them.
When Apple has more than their current fraction of marketshare next to Windows, they'll lose that advantage. Ask any hacker out there lol.

Here's what Microsoft should do:
OEM copy of standard Windows 7 with sale of new computer: $50
Customized copy of Windows 7 with vendor-specific enhancements: $5,000
That would fix that.

I think we have a corporate contract from one of the big vendors (Norton, maybe?). I'm almost afraid to load anything because I don't want the PC asking me even more idiot questions about what I want to run or download.
Clearly, you are looking for something different then others. So, what works for you; doesn't work for others.
I looked for a laptop with a decent battery life (>6 hours) and a decent processor. I've tried the Core Duo and Core Solos because they had a good battery life and dropped out on the processor. I tried more higher end laptops, but they failed on the battery life.
For me, the new unibody was the best fit.
For someone who hates how much Mac user speak, you sure do your best impression of them. It almost remind me of the left and right arguments.
What's the battery life of the laptop? I looked at the x200 but was fearful of the battery and I've always disliked tablets.

I haven't tested it yet -- so far it's been plugged into the wall. It's got a fairly big honkin' extended battery on it, so we'll see.
The Timeline isn't all it's cracked up to be. The key problem that I found with it is the processor. The SU4100 and the SU7300 are crap if you're trying to do alot of graphics and flash work. I never tried the U9400, but I figure that it couldn't be as good as the T8750 (my old laptop). The problem with the T8750 is the 1 - 2 hours of battery life.
