Macs are known for their sturdiness, and you don’t have to upgrade them every 6 months to have the latest and greatest. However, hardware/software choice is more limited. If you want repairs or service, you have to go to an “Apple Certified” store, which in some areas are hard to come by (and where they do exist, it will generally cost more to repair the mac than a PC… kinda like fixing a Jag over a Ford).

Macs are attractive, but so are many PCs (especially since you can choose how you want it to look, what brand you want, etc.).

Customizing is not one of Mac’s strongpoints… again, PCs are extremely customizable and can be individualized much more due to the numerous PC manufacturers on the market (as well as being able to build your own).

Cost: PCs are definitely cheaper on average due to the imense competition as well as the endless technology advances (basically, you get one thing that’s the best and greatest one day, and one month later it doesn’t even make the catalog).

Macs are known for being user-friendly, however, you have to tinker a bit to allow you to get into the “good stuff” and controls. However, you probably don’t care about the “good stuff”.

I personally would go for the Vaio.
