# the specs aren't bad, and they fit together nicely
and the os, if it suits your needs, is very cool. the only downsides for me are the wide screens and the lack of factory-ready tablet screens. that, and macbook pros dent really easily

that said, this wee acer is full of bullet holes, and plastic doesn't bend so well...

# Everyone seems to be going widescreen nowadays, not sure why
and my MacBook is extremely durable compared to all the PC laptops I've had in the past. It even copes with my kitten chewing the corners :-)

Mind you, if the Acer works with bullet holes in it, I'd stick with that brand...

# it was a pricey model 5 years ago
and has the blessing of fanlessness. it's kind of magical, and i do love it. but sooner or later it will die, and i don't want to be left without a backup plan

plus, though it handles everything i throw at it with aplomb, it could be a leetle beet quicker
