I've been a PC user since the days of booting DOS from a floppy, but I have to admit that the Macbook Pro looks really nice. I took a look at the MacBook Pro since there aren't too many PC laptop manufacturers that I would buy from again. I've had various issues with HP, IBM and Sony. The price isn't near as bad as I expected. It is similar to a comparably equipped Toshiba or Dell. You just don't get some of the nice extras such as a multi-card reader.
I need to start checking out the Mac forums to see how well VMWare and dual boot works on these. I also need to see if there are any problems interfacing with Canon cameras or USB multi-card readers.

Not too current, but I have a powerbook G4 model and have never had any issues with multi-readers or canon products. Canon really seems to know what they are doing and works very well and reliably on the laptop. I would assume that this trend would continue since most new cameras are on board with Apple hardware.

How can anyone using an iPhone not automatically want a Mac. I have been a Mac users for years and I would never buy anything from the hack company known as Microsoft. These people don't innovate, they steal every idea from someone else (often Apple) and then sell it as if they actually invented it. Once you use a Mac, deal with Apple Care, or just see how beautiful everything they create is, you will NEVER go back.

Go for it and have fun, fun, fun! Once you buy that Mac, you'll most likely never go back!
