[QUOTE="gilesjuk, post: 372637, member: 29394"] TBH, no laptop is ever a desktop replacement. The hard disks are slower. Either a Macbook or Macbook pro will be a good machine. I have a Mac mini as my main computer at the moment and my Macbook is faster than that! (1.66Ghz Core Duo vs 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo). Integrated graphics are only a worry if you play games. For the record my second computer ever was an A500 and I was using Amiga computers right up until 1999 when I moved to Windows. I would say Linux is the logical replacement for the Amiga as there is lots of free software and many GUI engines (Amiga had MUI and ClassAct etc.. Linux has GTK and QT). But Mac OS takes a lot of the pain away and lets you use your computer instead of spending hours getting everything setup right. Friends said I would be back on Windows/Linux after a week of using a Mac. No chance of that happening :) [/QUOTE]
