Macbook

Mac's have been raising the benchmark every year for computer design and building, and even still in 2010 and no doubt leading into 2011.

I have purchased a Macbook for $1700 NZD and I love it, big hard drive, crystal clear display and personally my favorite part has to be the multi touch track pad, seriously, if you havent used one yet, go down to you mac store and play on it, it makes everything so much easier.

Plus with the cool little apple applications like iLife and iWork the mac now looks even sleeker and I have never used such a good program for text editing, I'm sorry but even Microsoft Word doesn't compare to iWork. it is honestly so easy!

I highly recommend purchasing a Macbook, weather it is Macbook, Macbook Pro or Macbook Air. Although here is a little secret, the Macbook Pro is another (roughly) $400 NZD and the only difference is the Macbook Pro's steel case and backlight keys, as well as the potential to expand up to 8GB ram, but other than that the two laptops are identical.

If you have the money, then sure why not get a Macbook Pro? but if you are strapped on cash a Macbook is just as good (and it has a bigger hard drive!!)

You choose.
