Hey guys,
would love to update this thread. Does everyone own a notebook or 13" Mac? I'm ready to shop.

I had a 13in macbook, loved it. Currently have a 15in Macbook Pro, love it even more.

BUT

Isn't a netbook like one of those 9in $300 internet only computers? Why either that or Mac? It's like deciding whether to buy an Escalade or an Escort.

LOL! Fair enough. I meant notebook but was moving too fast. I'm leaning towards the Macbook 13". I'm tired of windows crashing.

MacBooks have better resale value over notebooks, thats something to consider.

Although I'm a PC person, I gave in and recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13". My school's photo department (really, the school in general with the exception of a couple of departments) is hooked up with APPLE (yuck). So, since I've learned all my photoshop, lightroom, etc on macs and really, those programs are designed to work best with macs.

I bought it with my tax refund. I also got the student discount and managed to hustle additional discounts. I have my issues with it but basically, I'm ok with it. I do like that it's really a lot lighter than I thought it would be. Almost as light as the Macbook Air.

This is something else I considered when I purchased it.

Silly person. You never get rid of computers, as long as you can still make them work for something.
