adrian__(sorry for my bad english)05:32
anhunp05:32
anhui haven't heard any thing nor have any experience from macbook with ubuntu05:33
adrian__and i would like to avoid buying an apple thing05:33
anhu:D05:33
anhuother brand laptop will cost more, typicaly they are enclosed by plastic and verydurable magnesium skeleton05:34
adrian__my other option is sony vaio sr series05:35
adrian__and is what you've just said05:35
anhuof course full-metal is much attractive when compare to plastic-models05:36
adrian__but i'm not pretty sure, i mean, yesterday i was at a shop and they claimed that the only non-plastic laptops they had were apple ones05:36
adrian__and they have sony vaio05:37
adrian__yes, and the one piece thing05:37
adrian__sounds really great05:37
anhuhow much sony cost?05:38
anhuof cource u can buy toughbook ;)05:38
adrian__hehehe, sony vaio sr is around 1000$05:39
anhunot bad05:40
anhui try to search spec from sony05:41
adrian__yes, but i'm not sure if the skeleton is made of magenesium since they seem more interested in selling vista and flashing lights05:41
adrian__http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&categoryId=8198552921644570898&parentCategoryId=1615405:42
adrian__and the keyboard seems pretty nice05:44
anhuyea05:44
adrian__the worst thing is at computers shops i visited they don't know anything about laptop05:45
anhuhaha, it's very typical05:45
adrian__they only say: you see, it's plastic, no magneisum05:45
adrian__magnesium05:46
adrian__anyway, macbook keeps being the best option05:46
anhubut even sony say not mensioin anything about casing05:46
anhubut why u don't want apple machine? :)05:47
adrian__well, buying apple is supporting apple05:47
anhudooh i founded :D05:48
adrian__and they design good things, but I think that when moral comes they're worse than microsoft05:48
adrian__i mean that it's not apple it's no good05:48
anhusony-page The 1" thin11 SR features a magnesium alloy chassis and barely tips the scales at 4.0 pounds6.05:48
adrian__yes, but they say chasis and not all the chasis is made of magnesium05:49
anhuis typicaly skeleton-frame witch stand somepoint of torture05:49
adrian__i'm seeing that i will buy a macbook05:51
adrian__or maybe i'll wait till brands think about a laptop is something which should be resistent05:52
anhumaybe05:53
adrian__hehe, well, anyway i wait until my plastic machine dies05:54
adrian__thank you so much05:54
anhui should ask why non-plastic? :)05:54
anhuok, maybe i know why :D05:54
adrian__hehe, yes, but the answer would be: because I want to use it as laptop05:57
adrian__as a portable laptop05:57
anhuok, i have nothing bad to say anything by laptop which has plastic case and magnesium skeleton. plastic just feel ankward, like a toy05:59
adrian__i think i'm going to bed and i hope i dream about FSF buying apple06:00
adrian__yes, that's the point06:00
adrian__and it loses pieces06:00
adrian__it's really easy to tear apart06:00
adrian__well, i have to wake up my girlfriend06:01
