Dell E1405 or new Macbook?

[Triforceofcourage]

Which one should I get and which one is better?

Get whatever is cheaper.

Depends on which forum you post in more, hardware or off topic.

I'd get anything before a Macbook. Hell I think I'd take a compaq laptop over a Macbook.

I want a MacBook, but I like to actually use my laptop on my lap...without 3rd degree burns, that is.

 

[HeroOfPellinor]

Um....neither.

1. Budget?
2. Would you use OS X?

Then open it up and apply some AS5.

Does that help with the MacBook or just the MBP?

Apparently, it doesn't get hot at all when unplugged.

i'm getting a macbook real soon. just for school and work. won't have time for games any more, so might as well grow up.

Macbook are really interesting... nice package, excellent bang for the buck apparently.
EXCEPT... the intel 950 chipset. I would want a real GPU. (wanna do some openGL 2.0 shader programming, and potentially directX9 development under a dual boot windows)

In fact; a lightweight notebook with a decent GPU + price is what I really need dont really care for mac or not.

Macbook. No question.

I have a black one. Love it.
