Macbook Pro vs HP Elitebook

[JuegaBonito]

Hi,
since i need a new laptop i'm considering to go mac.I just have to figure out the screen size.
So, could anyone here who owns both machines, Macbook Pro and Hp Elitebook, post a picture (side by side comparison) of them?
I would really appreciate that.

There's at least 6 different versions of the Elitebook. Which one are you talking about?

(btw love that freeDOS is an OS option).

OP, 15 inches is 15 inches.. Just like 17 inches is 17 inches.
Im not sure why this would change between laptop manufacturers.

We order Elitebooks at work mainly because of their specs and port replicators. I opted to stick with my hp 6830s C2D and gave back my Elitebook cause i hated it.

They have good specs, but with XP, drivers can be an issue, battery life is not that great and they are FUGLY. All the flashing lights on them looks like a mini airport, the trackpad is small and primitive (compared to MBP) its heavy and THICK. The 17's cost over $2-3k, which for the same price can get a same spec'd MBP.

I would not recommend the Elitebook, they are massive ugly beasts. Get the MBP or another Windows machine but not the Elitebook.

Hi, I don't know how this all works yet because I just registered but I was wondering when you said you hated the elitebook were you talking about the new updated elitebook. I'm wondering because I have to pick between a MBP and HP Elitebook for school
