[wplug] (OT) Laptop Durability

[Doug Green]

Been using macs for some time now, with ZERO hardware problems. 
Yellowdog Linux was re-selling them loaded with Linux instead of MacOS, 
but they are the same price (may as well buy it with MacOS, then drop 
linux on it later)... While they are more expensive than others, I am 
really happy with mine. I hauled it to/from work and school every day- 
and it's very well seasoned airline traveler. Battery life is excellent 
and the hardware is durable and well designed.
CompUSA in the Robinson Town Center carries them if you want to check 
them out.
