Just bought myself a new aluminum macbook, first Apple since my Apple IIc in the mid eighties. Although I'm looking forward to playing around with OSX, I will definitely be dual booting windows. I was looking for a 13.3" notebook and in the end Apple's solid aluminum chassis won me over.

OSX is nice... Apple finally got an OS right. However, I think they charge too much for their stuff.

BUT... I wanna Macbook Pro Grin

And Grats on the Mac... most Security freaks use/want them.

I always thought they charged too much as well, but I literally spent the day pricing systems and to be honest, the Alu. Macbook was within $150-$200 of the closest Lenovo and "looked" a he!! of a lot better. There may be other notebooks out there with solid metal chassis, but i don't know about them and have sworn off Dell since they screwed me on my dell credit 3 years ago. (they charged my account immediately for an XPS system they couldn't deliver for 2 1/2 months and then tried to make a fuss when I canceled)

We evaluated the new HP laptops, and will probably switch to them this year. The new ones are the aluminum chassis as well, with the magnesium alloy frame like the Lenovo's.

Lenovo used to be the best, however they've been static in their development/improvements and while the others have started to catch up and even surpass Lenovo.
