I would have gone for HP series.. They have good specs too and lot cheaper than Macbook Pro(Which I am really fond of). LOLz anyways that's nice to have a new logo on a personal laptop.. the apple one.. Personally but for the price, i would like to have one of those. ahh..i think you were pre determined on buying one.. I would have gone for HP series..

Either way, it's not fair to compare MacBooks to Compaq laptops - they are different classes of computers. My mother has a Compaq :) It’s too late, I’ve already been avidly using my Mac Mini desktop since 2005.

I've never felt the need to dual boot, Parallels does what I need very well. Granted, by use of Windows stuff is pretty light, but there are times when I'm very happy to be able to load it up to get what needs doing done. Have been a developer on Linux and BSD systems from some 10 years now, I'm still getting used to doing things the Mac way - but I'll get there.
