Sexy laptop smackdown: MacBook or Sony Vaio?

Some of you have pretty ambitious Christmas lists, judging by two of the most popular products on StyleFeeder this past week. So where do you fall on the sexy laptop spectrum?

In this corner, we have the new Sony Vaio, which is kind of the supermodel of laptops. It’s undeniably gorgeous, wears that shiny red lacquer finish to devastating effect, and is right on trend with the patent leather craze. But it’s also a bit flimsy, and if you’re a frequent traveler, you could probably blow it over with a good puff (not unlike a supermodel).

For some reason, the Apple iBook G4 has also been a popular item in the past two weeks. Given that those went out of production in 2006, we’re going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you thought you were looking at a Macbook. After all, if you really wanted to go all retro and ironic, you’d have to go all the way back to an original Mac, which is practically a museum piece by now (my husband actually displays one in his office because he considers it art).

I digress. Take a look at our other contender, the MacBook. While not quite as stunning as its competitor, it nonetheless has a classic design…more of an investment piece. Like a classic handbag, it holds up to abuse while looking perennially stylish.

But in the end, utility trumps appearance, and looks aside, you’re either a Mac or a PC person. Which side of the digital divide do you come down on?
