Dilemma.. Dilemma.. Did i even spell that correctly?

I'm stuck in between..

In between this..

or this..

Now, the Asus EEE pc only costs about $600 with of course the downside of only a 4GB Solid State Disk, a 512MB ram which is upgradable to 2GB, runs on a Linux OS which can be changed to Windows XP. The upside of it is, its small, freaking small for a lappy. Its only 0.92kg and its considered cheap compared to other lappys!

While, the oh so chio Apple Macbook costs $1788. Has a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB of RAM which i think can be upgraded right? A 80GB Harddrive and runs on the oh so chio Leopard OS. The only few downsides of it i can think of is that its bigger, more expensive than the EEE, if i want the black colour one, i would have to fork out another $700 more albeit better specs.

Hmm, as i was talking to Ken, i might wana move my whole PC to the living room and just use a lappy in the room which allows me to use my computer desk as a study one too. If you've seen my desk, i have no space at all to put books or whatsoever. Another option i considered was to buy a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, so when i wana study, i have to just shift the keyboard away and TADA! Study study!

Anyways, i guess i would have a budget of about 2k when i want to get a lappy which probably will be 3 - 6 months time? So.. I mainly want to use it for school actually, doing Powerpoint presentations, Word documents and excel spreadsheet. To cut short, Office related stuff. I also want to be able to surf wirelessly with the lappy, either outside or on the comfort of my bed. If the EEE pc is capable of it, i don't see a need in getting another 'full-fledged' PC.

So yea, advice advice from you all will be greatly appreciated!

Have a good Tuesday!
