[QUOTE="wt21, post: 105161, member: 231"] I've been Mac since 2007, but have been using a Dell from work with Win 7. Very impressed with Win 7, and would not be afraid of a new Win laptop. Is this your main machine? The screen res and color gamut, IMO, are the biggest issues. Do you have a good external screen? I prefer a small laptop with a good sized external screen. Then, you are free to get a more compact one, but whatever you do, work to get a RAM upgrade. 4GB at least, and at 8GB, performance is always soooo much better. Even if you pay BestBuy (or whomever) to do the RAM add-on. Just my two cents worth, and I've probably already blown your budget, lol. One thought -- check out Dell (or HPs) small business offerings. I've found better deals there than the consumer offerings, and they often come with less bloatware and more options. Just sign up under your record store as a business. Then, of course, enjoy several years of catalogs for small business coming to your house, lol. Lastly -- check Newegg or even B&H! [/QUOTE]
