So, I've got a mac G5 desktop, which is very nice, however at school it's annoying because I can only do most of my homework (ie: CS projects, papers, math homework, etc.) in my room! So I thought to myself, self, you should save up and buy a decent, yet somewhat cheap, laptop.

I'm seriously considering buying something that has windows, rather than a mac, however I am still very much attracted to the adorable macbooks.

So...I guess I'm looking for suggestions, because I don't know the first thing about what non-mac computers are good doh.gif

Just put Linux on your laptop already. If you need any Wind'oh software, run Wine.

Yes but she wanted a cheap laptop. Apple and Cheap don't belong in the same sentence.

However to be helpful, most Sony laptops have built in cameras, but they aren't exactly cheap.
