I need to choose between two laptops, a Sony VAIO and an Apple MacBook, any suggestions?

I’ve been saving up for a laptop, I need one before I go off to college in the fall. I have enough for a Sony VAIO [which seems like a great computer], but I’ve been wanting a MacBook. Should I just wait a while longer for the more expensive Mac? Or just get the VAIO now? anyone use these computers? MInd you, i’m just using it in college as a personal computer. I need help. Thanks.

Well, the universal question is what you’re gonna be using it for. If it’s just to browse the web, play some games, or just mess around on it, I would definitely go with the VAIO. It would also be cheaper to upgrade.

I’m a PC fan, but I don’t have a problem with MAC’s if you’re using them for website designing, movie editing or recording or any other type of media. So I would NOT suggest getting a MacBook if it’s just a personal computer. Mac’s can only sell Mac parts, so you’re going to have a tough time finding cheap Mac parts.
