Over the summer I spent time test-driving a bunch of laptop computers in an attempt to discover which was best. Not as easy to compare and contrast as I would have liked, but the results of my survey are the subject of this week’s “Techno Logic” column in the Georgia Straight.

Ever since I’ve been able to run Windows on my Apple computers, I’ve wanted to compare the performance of a Mac laptop to a host of other portable computers. What a good way, I reasoned, to determine whether Apple computers really are—as any Mac geek will claim—better than the alternatives.
