[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 274457, member: 21101"] I agree with this, it is a little annoying, but I have just shifted my posture and now it's not such an issue. Any Windows laptop running the same specs and anywhere near as sleek has the same issue, or simply has very loud fans. Having said that, I have never had mine get uncomfortably hot. You must be unlucky. My MacBook has yet to lock up at all. I have had one crash (Firefox) in 5 weeks. Apple, Ctrl, Esc allows a force quit of any hanging programme BTW. I have to wonder about your honesty here. You're complaining about the right click on OS X and then say it's fine via Bootcamp... which it isn't. In fact running Windows on a MacBook without a Windows style mouse can be frustrating. Sorry, but equivalent Dells are not cheaper than Macs, like for like. You have to take into account the performance/specs as well as what the design. A MacBook $1499 Core 2 Duo @ 2ghz 1 gig DDR 2 RAM 120GB HDD 13" Screen Dual Layer DVD Combo OS X including iLife Remote Intel GMA GFX Equivalent Dell Well... I tried to put one together but got the below error (Microsoft Site you see... even in IE I got the error...) Anyway, if you select an equivalent machine (almost impossible because Dell don't do high end specs in their smallest machines...) If you include Vista upgrade, Core 2 Duo at 2.0ghz, all the software you get with OS X, 120GB HDD and 1 GIG of RAM, you're looking at around $1500 Error message at the dell site [/QUOTE]
