I'm debating purchasing a 13" macbook pro or a portable laptop of the same size (this will be a gift). Im wondering what peoples experiences have been with the new macbooks and weather or not they would make the same purchase again. Im not trying to start a flame war between pc's and mac's, just want to get some input from fellow beyonders. Likewise I would like to know what are some of the other pc laptops that are similar in specs.
Im basically looking for something that's small/portable (up to 14") long battery life (at least 5 hours), nice touchpad and keyboard. This machine will be used for general purpose things, no gaming so even something like an i3 is probably fine. Price is also a consideration, personally I dont want to spend over a grand, but if the consensus is that the macbook is the way to go then ill pony up some of the extra cash. Im currently doing my own research and looking at some of the laptops from samsung and asus.
