[QUOTE="TheGreatApple, post: 957355, member: 129450"] Give me a core 2 with mac os x any day over a 20 core (when it comes around in the future) with windwos any day of the week! I know 7 has improved a ton, but it's still windows and still very similar problems. But at the end of the day a windows machine really is not ALL that bad. From what it all sounds like...you've already made your choice. You really should go get the Dell. I'm sure you'll be happy with it, it's a great machine. Yes there are advantages to a mac, but then again there are for pc's too. It seems that you won't be happy with a core 2 duo processor so go with the Dell. OR you can wait until the new i7 macbook pro's come along. Yes it's just a matter of time until that happens but who knows when. I literally could be tomorrow or a year from now. Just a word here... I have a 15 inch MBP with a 2.8 ghz core 2 and I do much heavier work and tasking then you do (from what you've told us)...and I've NEVER yet run into a serious hold up, problem, or big enough slow down for me to care. I truly...truly...truly believe that the biggest factor in performance isn't the speed or core of the cheap (of course that matters too but not as much), but the way the operating system uses it's resources. That being said...I'll take this core 2 with mac os x over a windows with an i7 any day. Forget the pretty casing...I want the operating system! :) P.S. It will be a very nice day though when the i7 MBP's arrive though ;) hehe [/QUOTE]
