		<description>You&#039;ve hit the nail on the head.  I&#039;m kind looking at the same problem here.

- Apple is pricy,
- They innovate with display ports and all, but they come back for more money by not giving any connector / remote,
- They kind of lock you down with formats, I&#039;m stressed that down the road, I won&#039;t be able to open my old files.

But the thing is, there is no better constructed laptop, this is talking from the new unibody ones they&#039;re making. They have a nice design, I&#039;m a sucker for design. Linux is not efficient for desktop uses. It works great on a server, but you always need to fight to get it to work your way on a laptop. This can be debated because you don&#039;t get to customize OSX. But at least, for me, it plain works.

As for the files format and all, I write my doc in .TXT format and I try to use as many open format or open sources programs I can.  That way, if it does change, I can alway convert or compile an old program to view them.</description>
