I've used Ubantu before and like it very much, if there's a Loongson laptop that I like, I might just invest in it. The problem there is that, like you mentioned, the allure of Apple is so great, the quality is so good and everything is set to work flawlessly that it almost doesn't make sense to go with anything BUT Apple.

I'll have to go to the local 电脑城 and check out the Loongson laptops, see if there's anything that can 通过我的批准.
