I don't think I'm going to buy another macbook anything. It sure is pretty, but I'm not really impressed the quality of the computer itself. All laptops nowadays are made using the exam same parts, no point in paying the apple tax.

That is most likely the winner in my book. Its spec'd similarly to the cheapest mbp, but about 400 dollars cheaper and has a SSD, which is good since I carry this thing around everywhere.

and for the record... ubuntu>mac osx>windows
