    No.

    Why pay £500 more for a white case and an odd operating system?

    Microsoft is AWFUL

    The Mac OS is far superior.

    Not everyone is evolved enough to recognise it though ;)

    Please tell me, whether your preference is for Mac or PC, that that's a joke.

    Macs more stable, but Microsoft has much more support for applications and programs, although, the Mac processors are actually quite good compared to the usual ones you'd get in you're Vaio.

    Although, I do prefer Sony to Apple, i'll just upgrade on the Vaio.

    scrap both ideas and spend the money on an asus laptop who make sony's laptops but their own stuff is generally better quality

    Buy a Macbook, partition the hard drive, and put windoze on it as well......(if you have to) You'll soon see the superior hardware /operating system.
    No viruses, spyware...... Nice !!

    PS......if you do put windoze on (XP or Vista) you'll need to install antivirus on that partition as well

    I love my MacBook :D my mum loves her MacBook and all my friends love theirs.

    To me it's just simple to use and does everything I expect it to do. But what you want to do on it does have a baring.
