Aqueous Posted at 6:07 am on Dec. 22, 2008 I had an hp, and I dont like the new ones, they get all fingerprinty. ManiacPenguins Posted at 5:54 am on Dec. 22, 2008 Get the XPS. The macbooks are overpriced for what they are good for. The XPS and Macbook are pretty similar, except the XPS starts cheaper. JMACCA Posted at 5:35 am on Dec. 22, 2008 Go for an HP. My friends with Macbooks wanted them SO BADDDDD, but now they despise them, and they miss windows. And dells, in general, suck. Go for an HP or a toshiba. The Prodigy Posted at 5:21 am on Dec. 22, 2008 MacBook. UndergroundKing Posted at 5:09 am on Dec. 22, 2008 Like someone else stated, it also depends on your use.  If you're an art student, like graphic design DEFINITELY get the Mac.  If you want general use/games/windows I would recommend the XPS. the real anti christ Posted at 5:09 am on Dec. 22, 2008 Hp, get fucking Hp marshmellowman Posted at 5:05 am on Dec. 22, 2008 Quote: from psychoticboy at 1:03 pm on Dec. 22, 2008 Mac SUCKS!!!   Oh, get something better to do with your life. If you have the money and are willing to dive into the Mac platform, by all means go for it. Trust me, you won't regret it. You can even install Windows onto it to use software that you may find essential, or to play games. As computers they are both really good. blufindr Posted at 5:04 am on Dec. 22, 2008 Quote: from psychoticboy at 12:03 am on Dec. 23, 2008 Mac SUCKS!!!   Please. Just because you don't know how to use it. Depends on what you want it for. Audio/video/graphics manipulation is better suited for a Mac. Gaming is definitely a PC thing.
