Once you use a Mac, you’ll never want to go back to Windows. The MacBook is sleeker in design and the longer battery life is more useful. You’ll get more bang for the buck. I do not regret buying a MacBook; it is the best investment I’ve ever spent.
as u mention both company products has been offering good service. but company doesn’t matter. Performance depends upon the contents of hardware. and sony offering u good laptop as compare to apple. replay me if it’s help.
I’ve had my Sony Laptop for 2 years, same price but it’s 2.4 Ghz (outdated obviously). Hasn’t broken down once, i’ve played games like Wolverine, Madden 09, Prince of Persia with perfect gameplay. Sony has Mac beat in almost everything other than battery power. My battery power drains really fast but i don’t carry my Sony Laptop outside or in class so i don’t mind having it connected to the outlet. If you are planning to get use a laptop for Class, then buy a netbook but if the laptop is for general use, i HIGHLY and STRONGLY recommend Sony.
