very nice...my macbook pro is the 2.00 ghz with 1 gb, if i would have waited 1 month i could have gotten the core2duo. i wish i had a bigger hard drive in it though, i only have 80, and it is about 3/4 full! i want to get a mac mini to use as my entertainment system, i have a 500mhz comcrap for that now, works fine.

Dell notebookI love this thing. I never got used to using a mac and punching 3 keys to turn it on. What was that symbol that looked like a weird racetrack?? Not to mention it only has one button to click with. I need two!

I use both at home and at work.I have a Gateway laptop and iMac G4 at home.My main work computer is a 24" Intel iMac running Parallels so I can use Windows when needed and then I have a Gateway tablet PC.I suppose at work I can also include my old Thinkpad with Suse 10.2 installed.

used imac g4 goes for around $600. not the best comp in the world, but good enough for home use.

I have an intel duo core, love it! makes running programs so much easier, especially when their huge, it doesn't tie up a bunch of stuff. That with the upgrades:128 graphics9 hour battery8x DVR-R, CD-R/RW1.66ghz80GB hard drive (why get more when you have DVD-R)I did a few other upgrades to the base E1505 like the Truelife screen and what not as well. All total got it for $1,000 with a carrying case and employee discount. I was happy!

I have a MacBook Pro Core2 Duo with 2Gig of ram. I love that beast. Its so fast. Nice screen, remote control so I can use it to present stuff in my classroom.Plus it got one power button, and the trackpad has 2 usable buttons. The mouse that come with mac dont't have one button anymore, it has none... physicaly. In fact its 3 or 4 buttons plus a four ways scroll.

Just PCs in my little world. I started on Vic 20, then C64, then the first PCs, all the way up to latest crap they foist on us unsuspecting goobers.I've seen the TV ads for MACs, and I think I actually saw one in a store once, but I have honestly never actually touched one.
