As I had two Macbook Pro’s with the same identical configuration (one personal and another one from company that I got it couple of weeks back); so I decided to sell my personal one and after posting the ad in craigslist for a resonable price..I had more than 10 people in the queue to buy it. Man, the apple is going nowhere, thanks for its hype…So, sold to someone who came first.
Now, its again time for shopping for another laptop, but this time I will be opting for PC based one as I already have another Macbook pro. Most probably will consider Dell Vostro 1400 if not some other closer models with the following set of configuration as I again will use VMWare on top of the system to run Linux:
- Light weight
- Core 2 duo/quad with decent clock speed
- 1 GB RAM (I already have 1 GB extra RAM, so it will be 2GB in total)
- 1440×900 is a min resolution
- Must be < 1500$
If you have any other recommendation, please drop me a note.

I purchased the Dell Vostro 1400 exactly for the 1400×900 resolution in a 14″ screen. I bumped the RAM up to a full 4GB. I wiped Vista and loaded linux, then installed vmware. Now I can do my XP and Server2003 work in Virtual machines and enjoy Linux for everything else. Best price for the configuration. I am still determining how I feel about the performance and quality, but initially seems very good.
