And all macbooks have built in webcams. The finger print ID sounds good, but I'm not sure how inconvenient typing a computer password really is. For me it's about the day to day use of the machine and I do a lot of video editing and uploading to youtube. So I'm all for mac. HP make good laptops though. I had had to buy a PC and the Sony I wanted wasn't available, I'd be in good hands with hp. get a mac The webcam's not an ish for me (don't own one now and don't plan to). The fingerprint thing's cool, but not a huge selling point for me. Haven't edited any video on a computer since the '90s. |

Yes, you can right-click on a Mac. You can also do scrolling and gestures. Check out this video: Thanks, Alex! |

I didn't go down the apple route due to price, despite being an apple girl since 92. | |

It would allow you to hook your computer to an HDTV with one cable. Ohhhhh!! Thanks for that. I think I have an HD Kodak vid camera that lets me do that. [Edited 8/10/09 15:36pm] It RULES!

I need that friggin' scroll thing on the touchpad!  |

I can't find the combo I want:
- scroll bar on touchpad - HDMI - backlit keyboard - Blu-ray 
Some Vaio's might have all this - it's becoming a bit of a blur at this point - but the placing of their shift keys is UNGODLY!  |

But I love my laptops.  | |

I just got back from the 'puter store and it seems like the PC laptops that have the features I want (Vaio, HP) now have the left shift-key in a fucked up position.  They've inserted this new-fangled slash key in between the 'A' and the shift. It is fucking annoying!
I don't think I can work with that.  |

But I love my laptops. I dig a lot of things about the VAIOs. But not the position of the left shift key. |

Would it be possible to remap that key on the VAIO or HP HDX? |
