17 Inch Notebook

Whether we choose to admit or not, everyone likes to watch a battle of epic proportions played in the media. Think of the hype surrounding the fight against Ali V Frazier. Alien V Predator movie. England V Germany football match, and finally the 17-inch MacBook Pro 17-inch cons Sony VAIO VGN-AR790U / B

Let me say at the outset of this article is designed to stimulate debate. I'll try and explore the benefits of choosing a Mac over a PC or a PC to a Mac. No doubt this will swell the battle lines on both sides and hopefully fuel spin-off articles and discussions in many forums it relates.

I'll put my colors to the mast and allow the user I am a PC. However, many of my friends and colleagues are die hard Mac users, including my mate Rob.

I have often heard Macs are designated as having the syndrome of Marmite, you either love them or say they hate. However, I am aware that nearly 95% of graphic designers and web that I work with the Commission to use Mac products. I take great pleasure when working with Rob on the desktop One Stop Shop for long design sessions to hear him sing the praises of a Mac on a PC. It seems to me that Macs are incredibly reliable and rarely crash. After working with him on both sides of the Atlantic for over twelve years, I admit to boredom Witless on the reliability of Mac. But I do smile across my face when his Mac laptop crashes and must eat his words.

Maybe it's something macho male but he has so little enthusiasm for embracing a laptop as I do to try a MacBook Pro. Although I am jealous of the latest features quiet MacBook Pro, including the new battery of eight hours. And that's carved from a single block of aluminum, the new MacBook Pro is slim, lightweight and durable enough to take anywhere. MacBook Pro has two NVIDIA graphics processors - a discreet and integrated - to help you make the most of your applications. The entire trackpad is the button, so it's clickable everywhere. And it offers even more Multi-Touch gestures and functionality.

The Sony VAIO VGN-AR790U / B 17-inch Digital Studio Laptop has an Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 processor, 4GB RAM, 400GB HDD and Vista Ultimate. I am a big fan of Sony Vaio after buying my first laptop Vaio United States a few years ago. He never gave up and proved extremely reliable.

Since there is not much difference in the price, whatever your preference two heavy contenders are seeking to win the title.

After a battle that was surprisingly free of cuts and black eyes, Rob and I agree to disagree. I guess it comes down to whether or not you like Marmite. A survey of 14 people in the office of 12 employees www.pconestopshop.com provided tremendous support of the Sony VAIO VGN-AR790U / B 17-inch Portable Digital Studio and one for the 17-inch MacBook Pro.
