 Which Laptop? I've been mulling over getting a laptop for some time. I'm a recent and happy windows-2-mac convert who has a iMac for home use. I was thinking of going the Apple route once more by picking up a MacBook (829euro from their refurb store). This morning I noticed a Dell special for a 1gb RAM, 80GB HD, Dual Core Prc, for less than 500euro. Sounds like a bargin. Which laptop?         |

The full spec for the Dell Laptop is: Inspriron 6400 Intel Dual - Core Processor 1.73GHZ 2 X 512mb Ram 15.4 widescreen Vista (eh...no thanks, i'll throw XP onto it) The MacBook:

| When are you planning to buy Cormac? I'll be selling a MacBook whenever the new line of MacBook Pro's come out, which could be 2 weeks, or could be 2 months. You never know with Apple! |
