damn, means i'll get less money for my ibook on ebay when i
sell it :(

i'm probably going for the intel imac, not sure wether to
get the 17" or 20" yet... i need the extra screen space for
design work, my ibook 12" just doesn't have a large enough
screen at all.

Its £103 more, I think?

I wonder what crazy expensive colouring method costs
£103...

its about £130 difference, it has a 80GB HD instead of a
60GB

which is £40 extra to upgrade on the white one, strange
that they are charging more for a different colour, as nice
as it is

Aahh, you are correct...

Yeah, you'd have to reaaaaaaaally want the black to add
another 15%ish to the price.

Have any of you mac-users tried to install and use windows?
Everything works fine?

I was going to get one, but to be honest I'm going wait for
the iMac line to be upgraded (due for a revision pretty
soon) instead.

There is nothing wrong with my 12" Powerbook really, apart
from the deafening fan noise. Just want a new computer to be
honest.

i dont see how it would really
its not as if all viruses were hand written in assembler
anyway
and all that was stopping a virri writer from moving onto
another platform was learning a new instruction set
what do you think?

imac got revised about 2 months ago. It isn't due for a
revision.

I'm being patient and waiting for a new desktop mac with
leopard. Been waiting for about 8 months so far. I hear
it'll be launched with the august conference thing.

I really like the look of these, and may well get one
eventually, although the main thing that I really hate is
that the pixel res is so unremarkable. 1200 odd by 800 odd
max ... if it went one stage higher it would be really
interesting. Alas.

Having said that a higher res might not be practical on a
screen that size.

i'm so tempted to get the black one, so these macbooks have
the same 2ghz Intel Dual Core as the imacs do??

it's not the chip itself, but rather the ability to install
windows on a mac. it's not the hardware, but the software
(operating system) that makes a mac more vulnerable. windows
is like swiss cheese when it comes to security.

So being able to run windows, you can actually play all the
games that you can on a pc? Stupid question maybe, but I
have to computer-skillz

Yes. Running Windows on a Mac is very much the same like
running Windows on a regular PC. The biggest difference is
that a PC is easier to upgrade with different hardware.
On a Mac you're still much more restricted on what you can
and cannot upgrade. And especially when you're looking for a
computer for gaming, the ability for making future
(hardware) upgrades is very important.

But it's kinda easy to upgrade both ram and hdd on the new
Macbook, I think

I don't have any experience with laptops and the
upgradability of macs compared to pc, but in the desktop
world you can't upgrade the graphic card and the audio card
on a mac as easy as on regular pc's (if at all).
A PC you can build and rebuild from scratch. Once you've
bought a mac you can play around with ram, and possibly the
hd, but that's about it. Although i'm not sure what the
intel equivalent of the power mac will bring. In the case of
imacs and mac mini's you're very restricted.

do you think for video editing, animation, and live
projections I will havet to buy macbook pro or macbook is
enough... it has Intel GMA 950 graphics processor with 64MB
of DDR2 SDRAM, but macpro has grapgic processor with 128-256
ddr... tough decision :/

I have no idea! I have never owned a mac. But I consider
buying it, when my pc gets too old
