Awesome thank you! I'll check it out when I get home.
Another question while I go to check it out:
A friend of mine was going to put a lot of money into a MacBook saying she thought it was worth the money just for the "wow" factor. (She isn't computer saavy). I asked her what exactly the wow factor is, and she basically summarized it as "Macs are better at graphics.". Which, I told her that technically a PC machine now adays is pretty much equal in all aspects. The old "edges" it used to have over a PC machine have pretty much melded together.
Video cards are more or less cross compatible, (MacBook pros using the ATI 1600 mobile, PC's do too), chipsets are relatively close now with the Intel change, high quality graphical software (Adobe namely, but just overall processing time of graphics) runs the same right now on both machines (assuming the software universal is introduced) or the performance boost isn't HUGE. You know?
Now if we talk about Operating System stability (which isn't really a performance debate, but more a reliability one) DEFINITELY OS X has the obvious winner over the XP line of windows.
I was just trying to let her know, what you overall are paying (from what I understand) for a high quality mac laptop over a high quality PC laptop is you're buying QUALITY (and overall STABILITY), but not neccessarily PERFORMANCE. It's like a BMW vs. an economy car, both will go the same mileage more or less on the road (aka: Doing processing), but you'll pay more for the BMW, there's more likelyhood of the economy car breaking down...
The big debate used to be that Windows XP was more software compatible. HOWEVER, with Macs now being able to run XP flawlessly, that debate now goes "Wait, you can have best of both worlds! Pay a little extra, get a package deal of both operating systems!"
But I just wanted to let her know some of the downsides or clarify that just because you have a Mac doesn't neccessarily mean you're going to have more "wow" over a PC, especialyl when doing presentations and such....
Unless Keynote is OSX only and the best thing out there for quick and pretty presentations.. Which hey! may be the case.
You're paying more for a system that runs Keynote, pretty much! And a slick looking OS... (unless you find yourself using XP most of the time).
Does that make sense? Feel free to give input on this!
