In a span of 3 years I have gone through 3 laptops and have seen the pros and cons of each one, but my recent laptop the Macbook Pro has really kept my attention. The Macbook is elegant, efficient, sleek, foxy, sighty and stable is so many different ways. So to really give you overview of why it is a superior laptop I will compare it to my previous laptops.

A more indepth analysis
Macbook Pro
From the chart displayed up to you see that the Macbook Pro is superior to my other laptops in every way except for the heat it generates. Well there is a simple solution for this. Macbook Pro fan speed for processors in 2000 rpm with the temperature ranging around 130 – 200 Fahrenheit. Now thats pretty hot for a laptop to be sitting on your lap. There is one thing they don’t tell when you get the laptop and that your fan can go up to 6000 rpms! So I downloaded a program to increase macbook pro fan speed called smcfancontrol. This program is fairly easy to control and I suggest not to put the speed over 4000 rpms because it will shorten the lifespan of the fans.
One thing I also recognize that programs run better on mac than windows. In windows I had programs that would crash at very annoying times when working on sensitive data. Also with the Mac Operating System I haven’t had program crash yet within the month that I have had it. Also they are less prone to getting viruses.
Asus N50 series
I will probably say Asus has the most innovative laptop that I have ever had. I wrote an article on it before right here. With this laptop they pretty much accounted for everything a user would possibly need. I just wish they did better with the design and screen display.
Sony Vaio FZ series
The sony vaio was the first laptop I ever owned and was definitely immaculate. Nice screen and beautiful display you could definitely recognize they put time into it. Came with a Blu-ray disc player and nice graphics card. I end up getting new laptop because I thought I broke it when switching out the processor for a new one.
Conclusion
I believe that when picking a laptop on any other product it is all base on your personality or philosophy when it comes to picking one. If you are person really in to looks get a laptop that has spectular design to it. You a person about substance get something that has great performance. Thats how you usually get the best laptop for you. In this case the best laptop for me was the Macbook Pro.
