The 17" model, in particular, has enough room on either side of the keyboard that a numeric keypad would fit but Apple left it out. What were they thinking? I had wanted a portable option for years but it wasn't until the HP Pavillion models came out with full keyboards (mine is the zd7310) that it bcame a viable option. We have both platforms at home (iMac/Leopard & HP/XP) and I find both platforms have their pros and cons with no clear winner.

Maybe MacBooks do? I have no idea as I don't have any experience with MacBooks. I would never buy a mac mini and quite frankly I'm not surprised that it hums. The reason I use the Sager in my comparison is because it was my Notebook of choice and what I was using most of the time prior to the switch. I also have several other notebooks some working and some not. Comparing my MacBook Pro to all of my notebooks past and present, the newest being a HP Pavilion dv6000 (Core 2 Duo). Every one of the 10 points apply. As far as getting "hot" I would say that all of my machines would get warm and the MacBook Pro is no different however it is MUCH cooler than the Sager but I think that goes without saying. Thanks, John Cole,

The thing about the mac is not just one good thing.. it's all the little things that add up to a great whole. Kind of the opposite of windows, haha. Although, XP with the right add-on tools is not too bad these days. For that matter linux, specifically ubuntu, is also really good and is actually better than both xp and mac in some areas, like application installs and upgrades via. apt-get for example. But overall it's not really a contest for your daily computer. Now I really do have problems with apple, their closed ways and their attitude towards customers, but like dating a hot girl who's amazing in bed, you put up with a lot for the awesome experience.

So you say that a brand new smaller computer is actually lighter and quieter than your old computer? I absolutely feel that Macbooks are fantastic notebooks. But lists like this are what make Mac users look like morons. If you want to make a legitimate comparison then compare two similar systems. BTW, how the heck did you get an ultra quiet Macbook? The fans here (as in most current notebooks) start loud and grow progressively louder in time. Before I got a Macbook I had a few old centrino notebooks that never got hot or had fan noise. But since going Mac then our Mac Mini and Macbook both hum all night and it's annoying. Golly. So you say that a brand new smaller computer is actually lighter and quieter than your old computer?
