What is better to get, a macbook pro, sony vaio, or dell?

Question

dont now what one to get but i really like the macbook pro

Answer 1

I chose the Vaio

I owned a MacBook Pro - they are starting to get viruses but Apple offers no virus protection.  I know a kid who got a Trojan on his MacBook Pro and had to completely wipe the thing - and lost a lot of information.

I'd suggest a Vaio simply because they are good computers and come at a cheaper price.  You can get one faster than a MBP at a much lower cost.  I chose the FW - which is faster than my MBP and my boyfriend's top of the line 17" MBP - it is the most expensive MBP you can get - now it at least comes with 4GB RAM and a bigger HD than when he got his replaced.  My FW performs as well as or better than his MBP and I run games better (Warhammer Online works SO much better on mine).  His also gets hot enough to have burned his legs - twice.  Mine stays incredibly cool - and gets about 3.5 hours of battery life or longer depending on what I am doing.

The price different between out two computers is over $1,000 dollars, by the way.

The current MBP is only at 2.5 Ghz, you can get a Sony at 2.8 Ghz.  Dells have about the same speeds but you may also want to consider an HP.  They have fast speeds and great processors at a low price.

Also, HP and Sony have an accidental damage protection plan for 3 years at the same price of Apple's that doesn't include that.

It's not worth your money to buy an Apple unless you wanna be "cool" or I guess if you are a graphic designer (I'm an industrial designer).

I've loved my Sony so much more than my MBP.

Also - screen size.  Think about what you want.

I like the 15-16 inch screens.  I like my FW because it is inbetween - it's almost the same size as the 17" MBP - a tad smaller.

Answer 2

All are good as long as they run Linux.  You can even order the Dell with Linux pre-installed.

Answer 3

The Macbook Pro is good, but it isn't worth getting unless you use all of it's features. You might want the Macbook, much cheaper, but still good.
