My laptop is too heavy for travel so in the next couple of years I anticipate buying a smaller Dell, HP etc....
My travel computer (windows tablet) weighs 1.5 lbs, has an SSD and is on it's original battery from 2006. It has been dropped, thoroughly used - used pretty much daily, since 2006. ...but it was not a cheap buy.

The thing that I see is that so many compare the high build quality, of one of the better mac's, to that of an inexpensive PC. Yeah, then it's like comparing a Mercedes to a Fiesta.

There are a lot of high build quality PC's out there with high design, magnesium, etc...

But why look at those when you know that mac's are almost always high design? . . .tho, come to think of it, I don't see a lot of really old mac's in use. ... seems they are kind of like designer purses, I suppose. If you don't have the latest mac, you aint sheet.
