[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 389743, member: 9385"] Yep. That's a bummer on that. And since CAD stuff is often 3d, you need one of them high end Macs with the higher end graphics cards, run Windows with Bootcamp and do your CADing there. Yeah, that's a bummer too. Though UT2004 runs okay on my Macbook (in Universal binary version especially) but that's about the only game I play. Xbox or PS[2|3] for those. That's most probably because Adobe hasn't come out with a Universal (read Intel) version, and I'm assuming you're using one of the newer Intel Macs. Photoshop (non elements) takes awhile to load on my Macbook too. The next versions should be Universal and load much quicker. As far as your good points, yes I've noted that the Airport is not only pretty quick, it's also danged tenacious in picking up wireless access points. There are access points that my Dell can only access in one specific location and only if you hold it up in the air and point it in what is usually an awkward direction while my Macbook grabs and holds any wireless. My entire house is now all wireless. And of course I always go with 'right tool for right job' philosophy. I still use Windows for some things (mostly work related) but a Mac is a pretty good tool for about 95% of most people's jobs. [/QUOTE]
