[QUOTE="robwormald, post: 21769"] So I've been an avid PC user since I started on computers, and i've probably had about 6 PCs in my lifetime (I'm 20), and I finally gave up on my last compaq laptop (1600+AMD), the build quality just plain sucked. I got my comission check last week (I work at Cingular Wireless, more about that later), and decided something had to be done. I'm a full time student at UT-Austin as well, so i take my laptop to class everyday for taking notes and talking on IM...so I went to Compusa intent on buying the smallest, most powerful portable PC i could find, and nothing really caught my eye. My best friend works for the AppleIT dept here at UT, and she was always raving about her 12" pb, so i wandered over to the mac store and started looking at the 12"... I walked out of the store with a 15" superdrive pb and the 20" cinema display...and I am utterly amazed by these machines. The build quality is amazing, apart from the one burned pixel on the first 20" display, got that swapped out with no problems though. I also have a SonyEricsson T616 for work, and i was toying with the bluetooth setting between the two, ended up getting my address book copied over from my phone...i recieved a text message while doing all this, and i went to check it on the phone, and ***, it had appeared on my display as new SMS incoming message, with the option to reply and everything...same with caller ID. BLOWN AWAY i was. Does anybody know if i can answer calls and talk thru the pc speakes and mic? My only complaint so far is that I had approximately 1000 songs on my old PC laptop, mostly WMAs that i have ripped off my CD collection, and Itunes (which I love) doesn't play. Anybody know of a good utility to convert these all to mp3 and keep my tags and folders intact? Also, i couldnt really find a good sleve at CompUSA to carry my pb around to class in my backpack...any suggestions? Took me 24 hours, and i'm never going back :D [/QUOTE]
