Brenthaven 2231 Stylis II-XF for Notebooks up to 15.4 Inches (Black)

I'm going off to college this September, and I'm debating between these two laptops. I can get either one.

The Lenovo Thinkpad X300 (w/Windows Vista, 2 GB of RAM, and a DVD burner)

or

Apple Macbook (13.3" Black, 2.4 GHZ)



Which is better and why?

A: i have to disagree with a previous reply. in the windows world there are 2 of the very best laptops in the world. sony & lenovo. they're the most expensive but it's because they are worth it.

Apple is not cheap but also excellent hardware.

it all is going to come down to money, what's in your budget. what will it be used for? creative stuff - go apple (and this is coming from a windows luvr). business - go lenovo (read windows).

The Best Mac Black Friday Deals PC World

Are you dying to own a Mac, but you just can't get your mind past the minimum $1000 cost of getting an Apple computer? If so, today may be your day to buy. It's Black Friday, and even Mac prices are getting cut. These prices aren't as deep as other tech products, but you can still find some deals from online retailers. I've taken a look at a number of these Mac sellers to give you the lowdown on what you need to know before making a purchase.

Club Mac , Mac Connection , and MacMall have some great deals on Apple computers. You can get a white 13-inch MacBook for $884.98 at Club Mac and MacMall, for example, while Mac Connection sells the same computer for $849.

The only problem with these retailers is they are depending heavily on mail-in rebates to cut costs. If you like to procrastinate or can't stand paperwork, then you'll want to avoid these stores. But it's worth a look for coupon clippers and other deal hunters.
