[QUOTE="roastbeeef, post: 1568028, member: 183728"] Thanks for correcting my typo. And you're right, it probably was more powerful than any windows laptop. But for my requirements a top of the range windows machine will outperform any mac for the same price. Not really the purpose of my thread though. I certainly don't want two screens in the living room. One would be enough but at least the iMac looks a lot better than most conventional screens - I have the same issue with my GF, but it would probably be worse if I was to spend hours and hours coding sitting in another room. I wouldn't let her touch my PC, but with Macs being harder to break it would be most of a home computer than my baby. I'm drifting towards getting a Mac mini and the Cinema Display. I could get a HTPC for most of my personal requirements. Macs might be terrible with excel but can always use my work laptop for that. Any idea how SAS performs on a Mac? If I bought a MBP I'd probably end up getting the Cinema Display as well anyway Arghhhhhhh!! [/QUOTE]
