    I was stuck between the two untill i realized that I just don't like the MAC OS. PLus everyone and their mother has a MAc Book now. The Sony is a higher quality machine.

    dude 12% market share is not everyone. and i've used both osx is much more stable. also there are about 3 threads on this subject. if you post the question on a sony forum you will get sony. post the same question on the apple one and you'll get a different answer. for most of us it came down to the sony sz being thinner lighter faster and more input/output options (express card and pmcia slots etc)

    OSX is much more stable.The milk carton The OS runs in is not.If you do choose to go micromac get yourself a good notebook cooling pad.
