[QUOTE="floyd923, post: 324030, member: 27084"] Thanks for the input. A little bit on why I am contemplating a Macbook. If I was thinking about gaming, I would definitly consider an MBP. but I do have a nice PC desktop that runs any games that I may be interested in. I am contemplating a Macbook for two reasons. The OS intrigues me, and I figure it would be a good learning experience for me. Not to mention more stable. Windows is becoming less and less customizable. This trend started in 95, worsened in XP, and Vista seems to be a horrible control freak...like that girlfriend you can't seem to forget, lets you think you are in control, but in fact it is doing multiple things behind the scene and is in control. In a laptop I look for portability, size coupled with performance (at a decent price) is a huge deciding factor for me. Which is why I am not interested in MBP. I use a laptop mainly for word processing. Throw in some photoshopping (hardly 3D rendering). A game here or there when I am stuck out on the road. Firefoxing the net, god I love tabs! Some research including a stats program called SPSS. I think that about covers my uses. I figure that you can not run a Mac OS on a PC, but can run windows on a Mac. So I like the option of using both OSes. I hope I do not spend most of my time in Windows, and hope to divvy it up 50/50. But yes, in the beginning I will be spending more time in windows till I learn how to use a mac. Any more thoughts? [/QUOTE]
