Laptop Recommendations

[mousepod]

As a mac fan, I love my iBook, and if I could find a good excuse to upgrade, I'd get the new MacBook. The MacBook Pro is even more powerful (NA has one), but since both of them are new, they both have Intel chips. The MacBook is basically good to go out of the box, though I'd probably recommend a purchase of Microsoft Office if you need a good word processor or spreadsheet app. RCT3 has been ported to the Mac OS already, and if you need to play RCT2, you can use an app like Parallel which allows you to run Windows on your mac (simultaneously, as opposed to dual boot). There's another app on the horizon (as in very very soon) that will allow you to run Windows apps without even installing Windows at all.

Solid OS, sexy design, cool bundled integrated apps (iMovie, iDVD, Mail...), the ability to run Windows if you need to.... I'd go with the Mac.
