    I contemplated getting a MBP too but can’t justify the cost considering I can get a better specced (but not as nice) Thinkpad for much less.
    It IS sexy though but if I get one I’ll probably end up installing Windows on it since I don’t have 3 other gaming machines like you :D

    That is great news! I want to get a mac, but budget sets me short. I don’t like to use out of pocket money. Only money from the site will go back into rotation. Penny pinching the most! I may have to settle for a vista ultimate laptop for under 1 grand.

    I don’t think I’ve burned a CD/DVD in the longest time. External HDs and flash keys are so much more convenient.

    I don’t particularly need, say, a gun but it’s nice to know it’s there if I do.

    Welcome to the group Ed, I just received my first Mac the other day – although I went with the standard MacBook. Loving it so far, although it is taking a little getting used to but better today after installing a mouse.

    Welcome to the cult of Mac. And yes, I play a few games on it (Mostly WoW and Eve…) so gaming is not impossible…

    I’m looking to get the same mbp, but it looks there’s a whole new model coming out soon…

    I thought macs were specifically made for designers. How easy is it to use.
