Electrovaya Scribbler Tablet PC (Windows XP Tablet Edition) - 866 PIIIMobile, 512 MB RAMTreo 600 jus' like RasermonThe bottom line is that if you have the freedom to go with a Mac - no ties to Windows-platform software, no requirement for absolute 100% conversion of Windows file formats - and a strong interest in computer media tasks, like audio/video production and editing, I'd run and not walk to a Mac. Unfortunately, the "no ties to Windows-platform software" doesn't apply to many of us, particularly for me in the legal industry, where a good majority of and the best software is on the Windows platform. Hence Apple's devoted 10% marketshare.

But, since OSX is Unix based you have more freedom to play with the operating system. And running Windows apps on a Mac is as easy as running Virtual PC (which is supposed to be more stable than a PC). I'm thinking of buying a laptop, and the more I look at it, you seem to get more "bang for your buck" as far as laptops go. Desktops, however are a different story.

Linux...I have escaped from Microsofts Evil Empire!!

I have a PC at home and a G4 mac ( soon to be an Ibook G4 ) at work...Love my PC though

Desktops, however are a different story.I agree with this as well, but if someone's looking for an opinion about a preferred operating system for a computer on a car forum, you're going to get a recommendation for the easiest, not a geekier solution. I've used Virtual PC and although it's impressive, it doesn't always work well with highly specialized software. That brings me back to my initial point - if you're not tied to highly-specialized software, try getting away from Windows and go Mac - or, as another poster stated, even better - go Tux.

SuSE 9.0 Pro here...My stuff: Two AMD Duron 1600's that don't get a lot of use...Ironically, the most heavily used machine is a Toshiba Libretto 110ct "laptop." Whopping Pentium 233, 64 megs of RAM, but I did add a 20 gig HD. Love that little thing, and when closed, it is slightly larger than a VHS tape. Also have a Sharp Zaurus 5600 (PXA255/400 MHz) which allows me to take Linux with me everywhere I go.

I use both (many of both in fact).My short list is:Gateway M675 2.8GHz Pentium IViMac G4 800MHzHomebuilt Athlon 750MHz iBook G3 500MHzDEC AlphaPC 533MHz (Server)Those are my main machines, but I have many more as well. I think being well rounded is the best way to go.

I'm an all-Mac girl...iBook G4 800 mhz

Dell P3 866mhz512 mhz of ram Windows ME Soon to be gone in favor of a system my brother in law might build me if I have the money.I am a PC person just because I understand them better. 85% of the world uses PC's so who am I to argue.

Lets see, I (and my wife ) own 8 computers at home, all Mac.1. Powermac 7600 G3 (400Mhz, 256Mgs of Ram , My main computer since 1999) (Hopefully being replaced with a Powerbook G4 15.2" in May)2. iBook G3 (800Mhz, 384 Mgs of Ram) My Wife's computer3. Powermac 7600/132 (132 Mhz, 64 Mgs of Ram) It's my "TV" in the garage (gotta love that the 7600 had video inputs standard)4. Powermac 7200/75 (75Mhz, not doing anything/ in storage)5. Powerbook 3400/180 (180 Mhz, 64 Mgs of Ram) In Storage/ not currently used6. Powerbook 1400/117 (117 Mhz, 64 Mgs of Ram) Currently running X-10 home automation server (hopefully to be replaced by #1 above in May)7. Powerbook 540C (32Mhz, 64 Mgs of Ram) In Storage (same model of computer used in Mission Impossible I (actually that was a 520C)8. Powerbook 140 (2 Mhz, ?? Ram) In StorageAt work I use a Compaq 400Mhz running Windose 2000. It is SLOOWWWW.

Well, best buy had a 15.2" Powerbook on a really good sale, so now i have one of those.I play Warcraft 2.0 and 3.0, ONI, Hexan, and a smattering of other games on my Mac. But if I really want to play games, I usually use my PS2 or my original Nintendo!!
