    Lenovo S10-3T

    Intel(R) Single core Atom(TM) CPU N455 @ 1.66GHz
    2GB RAM
    250GB HD
    Windows 7
    Extended battery for up to 7 hours of life (or a full work day...)
    Touch screen the can rotate around so it can be used as a pad.

    Although I bought it as it was the only netbook that had a proper keyboard, rather then the useless chiclet mac copy keyboards that everyone seems to copy now. Netbook as I spend so little time in places that a desktop is impossible and a laptop is impraticle.
    Like anyone reads the rubbish in the signature.

    My portable: MacBook Pro, Quad Core Intel Core i72GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HD
    My desktop: Mac Pro, 2x Quad Core Intel Xeon 2.8GHz (8 cores total), 32GB RAM, 2TB HD.

    My desktop does a lot of video editing in 1080p with raw uncompressed files, so it needs a lot of that RAM.

    You drop in that ram yourself or order it from Apple that way?

    Myself. I ordered it with the bone stock 2GB and went to NewEgg and ordered 8 sticks of 4GB Kingston memory made for this computer.

    (If you don't get the special memory made for this MacPro, it'll trigger ECC/FB errors and thermal errors. Each RAM stick has a thermistor, so does the riser card).

    Mac Pro memory isn't cheap anyway. It would cost me almost 1200$ still to max out my ram on my Mac Pro, but it is a 2006 model, which uses memory that is even more expensive.

    My RAM cost me around $700, and a discount on NewEgg I had.

    My Mac Pro requires fully buffered ECC memory, with special heat sink designs..

    To this day, not a single ECC error count has been triggered.. Never had a kernel panic, and the only time an app crashes is from poor programming.

    Why is Mac Pro ram so expensive yet you can get 8gb's of Corsair ram for Macbooks for $50 or cheaper if you shop around? Surely Macbook ram needs to be ECC ready too?

    MacBook RAM is not fully buffered or ECC. It's just plain laptop memory.

    MacPros are workstations, so they require RAM designed for that kind of task where it needs to be fast, and reliable.

    Macbook Pro 15"
    2.8 GHz i7
    8 GB RAM
    256GB SSD

    I had the problem where the GPU crashed in Lion requiring a new logic board (had to happen out of warranty) but luckily it was a fairly common problem and they fixed it for free, so far no problems with Mountain Lion which I have had installed since it came out...

    Cool, is that the one with the Retina Display? I've seen one of those in person and it's pretty cool. I'd like to get an 11" Macbook Air, since I have a nice desktop now, and could use a nice portable computer to replace my old Macbook.
