Seriously, if I had the choice between and Mac and a Windows equally spec'd laptop for the same price, I would go for the Mac . :)

Those mac heads should give vista a go, I had to do nothing other than offer the computer an ethernet cable to be connected .
Virus/spyware . . . I have installed nothing as yet, and wont untill my computer comes to a stand-still, been going about a week now .
The only anoying thing is the popups, but these are only when installing an application, I hear these can be switched off but havent looked into that yet .

539502 2007-04-09 22:25:00 I love my new Mac. I really do. But I'm sad that all my Mac owning peers have been so quick to turn on "one of their own" because I dared point out how similar the start up routine of a new Mac is to a new Windows XP machine.

So sad :(

539507 2007-04-10 10:19:00 Sounds like a nice little computer, What did it cost? Metla (12)
539508 2007-04-10 10:28:00 Righto

$ 4749.00

That should have taken pride of place in the "review"

Still, I supoose money is like Jam up there in high society auckland.

If you had bought a Windows notebook with those specs you would have had enough left over for a week in Fiji....
