I will also consider trades for a high end Windows laptop. I'm doing this because I need a Wintel box with a good graphics card, and because despite all my searching and asking, I cant find how to compress a dvd to meg4 on a mac, yet I can on my Wintel box at home.

Yeah, but that doesnt include the 3 year warranty, the Norton Software, the Roxio Toast, the MS Office, the Micromat Techtool, and all kinds of other software that I had to get for it.

Sorry, but I'm NOT high. All the warranty and software would cost about a grand right out of the gate. I reduced the price of the laptop to around $2400 and then added on the warranty and the software at discounted prices. I think this is a **** of a deal. But if you're not interested, fine.

And one more thing to consider. Sure, you could buy a new 1.33 for $3k, but thats all you're going to get. All you're going to get is literally no VISUAL gain in performance. In the Intel world, you'd be paying that extra $700 for less than half of a ghz upgrade in performance. If you HAVE TO HAVE the latest, greatest, more power to ya. But honestly, there is someone out there who would rather spend $3k and get all the exrtra software and warranty, than get the .33 boost in processing speed.
