[QUOTE="informed101, post: 957290, member: 134583"] Thanks Doug. It's those arguments that are pushing me from a lifetime of PC use towards the MAC. WHen I was in school I literally received one of the first pentium laptops directly from NEC, before even the media got their hands on one. I've used windows so long I am comfortable with navigating through its messy maze. But now with Windows 7 there is a bit more to learn and it simply is not as "pretty" as the MAC OS. That said, the most resource hungry thing I do is converting video files from my video camera and its SD memory card. I've read on forums where MACBOOK users lament the Mac laptop takes a while to do this whereas the i7 chip burns through such tasks. My purchasing decision would be made easier if (a) Apple "kept up with" Dell and others who have already released the i7 laptops or if (b) Apple would indicate when they'll make such a release. Apple has a great OS but a four core chip not only levels the field, but makes the Apple absent such a chip an overpriced accessory by comparison, IMO. I want the Apple, just not with yesteryear's technology. [/QUOTE]
