TwoVales, Macs don't run windows, they simply use the Intel chip instead of the PPC one (Which comparing my new Intel MacBook Pro to my G4 Tower is a HUGE boost). This simply means that you can run Windows on the computer, yet it is slower than a 'dedicated' windows computer. I suppose in theory the reverse should be possible, with an Intel version of OSX (but weren't they Intel-compatible for a while?) on a non Mac. As to the comment about macs looking chunky... Wait till you get your hands on a MacBook Pro, you'll say otherwise then. As I'm modelling it, I'm seeing the whole load of work that's gone into it, the designers have done an amazing job, not a millimetre wasted (and as to the remote control... who else would think of making a remote control for a laptop? Sounds silly, but it's a lifesaver with music. No more application switches.) Well there's the end of me waxing lyrical...

Running G4 at 1280x1024 and MacBook Pro at 1440 x 900 (Just polled with the first as the laptop isn't a usual size, although I love the width)
