New Mac laptops called macbook pros. they are intel chipsets that you can partition half the harddrive for windows and the other half for mac.
On a different forum i visit there are people with the developer mactel setups that apple released when they released the news on mactel systems. The forum i visit that i got that from is a motion graphics forum and would make total sense on why they have had the developer mactels.
Finally a reason for me to try harder on getting a new job.

Thats the shit. I have a PC, and have used Macs. I find them hard to use, but i might start saving.

I love my mac. Got a 15 inch powerbook G4. I heard about that quite a while ago and was kind of upset actually because I thought it would change what is the essence of mac. But I guess I have nothing to worry about since I already dumped 2grand on this thing and wont be getting a new lap top for a while hah.

this whole mac vs pc debate is useless. They both have there uses, it all depends on what you want to use a computer for. General family use, pc always wins...hands down

Macs are good for music and recording and technical stuff if you are loaded but if you are looking for a high-end computer for less money, build your own. Thats what I did. I've got a nice DFI lan party motherboard, a raptor 10K rpm HDD,fastest HDD avalable, no mac has one, 2 gigs of highend corsair RAM, and a memorex CD-DVD rw and a more than decent AMD Athlon 64bit processor. I'm runnin F.E.A.R., Quake 4, BF2, and HalfLife 2. Oh and I got a kickass 500watt power supply.I have a PCI express 128 Radeon Extasy graphics card. I realize this is only 128... but it is pci-e, doubling the speed. I got this all for under my lifetime savings of $700. Oh and in terms of laptops, I would go with a used vaio or something... but if you are hella rich or you have a decent job you should just go with the mac and just follow along with the fashionable little trend. The only way I got these parts for so cheap is good internet deals and a crazy deal on the motherboard-processor and my local FRY's, but you can get a good deal to if you try hard enough.
There is one thing worse than a Mac though... a DELL. Do not get one unless you get an XPS or whatever they call their top o the line system. Then again you get a better deal on em if you build em by hand.

ha mac is comparable to dell now. wow you must be stupid. sorry i honestly think you are. WOW youre computer has the fastest hdd around. well sorry to say, but mactels are much more powerful then your pc, honestly your pc is a sissy baby compared to the mactel developer kits sold at the san fran mac convention. Oh also sony vaios arent all that they are worked up to be. My mother had one, oh shit it died in less then 4 months?!!? Now i'm not saying **** PCS!!!:@@ cause im building one myself here in a few months. Mainly for editing and 3d modeling for visual effects and motion graphics. And then the oh so most needed application ever, steam. But you saying that mac is comparable to dell makes me think that you have no brains in your skull. Have you ever used a mac to its fullest potential? I highly doubt that you have. Video editing on a mac is much more effeciant then it is to edit on a pc. Also macs aren't a little trend. especially since copying mac's old operating systems is such a good thing correct?!?!

Not to burst your bubble but I read online that the imac is going to be extinct soon. They are going to make a completely new design.
Those programs on my toshiba ran just as fast on an ibook.
