[QUOTE="Mark S 3, post: 785017, member: 60981"] Very little risk to trying Macs any more. If you don't like the OS you just format and install windows XP. Meanwhile you get the fun of trying a new OS and having the sexy hardware (Macbook air!) You won't have much luck finding a Mac at your $600 price point anyways, so no point arguing about it. For $600 the best laptop I can think of is the Asus EEEPC. Small, light, portable, solid state memory (no spinning hard drive to break) and fits in your budget. Pair it with an external monitor, keyboard and mouse and you've got a nice Linux (or XP if that's your preference) machine. Only other advice is to avoid Vista. Microsoft really pulled a turkey with that one. [/QUOTE]
