| 592075 | 2007-09-18 03:33:00 | I was only looking at laptops in the $1600-2k range. I know Toshiba are slightly cheaper too, I didnt know about that warranty thing though. We use HP's for our business customers where I work, so I know certain models are really trustworthy and reliable. I think if I'm going to spend the money though, I am going to go with a Mac because it is going to be more useful to me in the near future - plus I can just run windows on it if I want. I wish the model Macbook i'm looking at came in black though... Cheers for all the replies everyone, I think I'm going to go for a Tiger macbook in the next month hopefully. Just out of interest, do they use a standard 2.5" IDE or SATA HDD? I know I could upgrade it for much cheaper than on the site I'm looking at. Cheers |

| 592076 | 2007-09-18 03:35:00 | This just in from Adobe earnings release and conference call On Mac strength: Shantanu says CS3 performance gains on the Mac are impressive, and the Mac is a vibrant platform. Adobe came back to the Mac with video products, and Adobe is off to a strong start with those. blogs.business2.com The bit I quoted can be found near the end of the article. The MacBook's come in black or white the MacBook Pros come in aluminum. For the MacBook Pro: 120GB or 160GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive; optional 160GB 7200-rpm or 200GB 4200-rpm drive3 If you're running Bootcamp on your Mac you will boot up in either Windows or OS X, if your running Parallels or VMWare you will be running Windows and OS X simultaneously. |

Granted, I'm fully aware the reasoning will only be interesting for its complete lack of logic. It was the comment regarding the healthy outlook for the Mac platform and Adobe software. Aside from MS Office, Apple has always been associated with Adobe over the years - especially Photoshop. |

| 592080 | 2007-09-18 04:31:00 | Photoshop is handy for in engineering for rendered drawings used in presentations along with Keynote or Powerpoint and FCP2 when showing finished works to clients. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 592081 | 2007-09-18 04:57:00 | Cheers for all the help everyone. I am going to go for the MacBook. I should hopefully qualify for an educational discount too which makes the deal sweeter. | Enigmur (10547) | ||
