Five Things to Consider Before Buying a Computer 6 {Switched.com}
Oct 1st 2008 11:32PM A bit of misinformation in this article, which is also heavily Apple biased. Vista isn't really as slow/bloated or as much of a security nightmare than portrayed to be - it's usually the computer manufacturers who load tons of extra software on their systems which slow them down. Apple machines also don't "excel at creative tasks" anymore than computers from other brands - they all use the same hardware; they just have different software. AMD processors may not all be as fast as their Intel counterparts, but they certainly are fast enough to run an operating system and programs without "mysterious freeze-ups". Intel's newest 45nm chips are also not distinguished just by the first number - for laptops, any processor beginning with P is new, and there are some 45nm processors starting with the number 8. (Not all of these 45nm processors are the same, but this article makes them out to be this way) Windows also comes with some of the creative programs raved about on the Mac OS, and many free alternatives can be found online. Since iLife 08, Apple has dumbed down iMovie and made it so basic that users complained enough to offer the previous '06 iMovie version for those who had bought the '08. Movie Maker hasn't lost any of it's functionality and still has basic elements like the timeline. And no, iTunes is not a necessary download on a "PC", because not only are some people smart enough to shop for iPod alternatives, iTunes is actually bloated and slow, and requires 4 memory and CPU hogging services to keep it running.

It really is a nice little set, it's got a built in DVD player too. Too bad it's only hooked up to an SD box!
Lenovo X300 ad takes the MacBook Air head-on {Engadget}
Mar 26th 2008 8:15PM You seem to miss the point that the X300 has a higher resolution (1440x900) screen compared to the Air's 1280x800 (the standard for these size displays).
Slightly off topic, but the principal of my school carries his Air around prominently like a douchebag. He's purposely making it visible to the students and teachers hoping he'll get some attention...
