[QUOTE="swedevb, post: 643490, member: 51731"] Just one more opinion .... after being a lifelong Windows user I bought my top of the line MBP (2.4Ghz, 4GB, 17" hi-res) almost one year ago, and while I like it, I've also been very disappointed. Bottom line, its just not that different from all of the Dells and Thinkpads I've owned. It's "prettier" but the keyboard is very lousy and the opening device is irritating. Leopard works OK but it works a lot like XP but crashes more than my XP laptops. My last beef is the mouse drivers are less functional for the MBP. It is quiter and I like not having to worry so much about viruses, but overall I just haven't experienced the "it just works" syndrome that so many espouse and why I switched in the first place. Unfortunately the systems are more alike than different. I'll keep using the MBP, but now that it's time to buy new computers for my kids to head off to college, I'm recommending to them they buy the less expensive Windows systems, albeit w/ XP not Vista.
