Actually the Macbook Pro is about the same price (maybe +300) as any pc laptop in its class. I don't know where you guys buy your laptops but at work each of our Dell laptops comes in right about $2000. Of course we don't buy the piece of junk celeron $600 laptops. I know thinkpads are right around $2000 for equivalent specs. I had a friend who just bought a Quanta from http://www.powernotebooks.com/ (PowerPro G 3:8) and it was right around $2000. By the way, powernotebooks have some pretty good prices and warranties on laptops. All of their laptops are from from the OEMs so they are the same as many of the well-known brands like Toshiba, HP, etc. It's advertising propaganda for powernotebooks, but still interesting: http://www.powernotebooks.com/articles/index.php?action=fullnews&id=17 Michael > - Only comes in 15" (don't know if you're looking for ~12" or not) > > ~ Nathan > > -------------------- > BYU Unix Users Group > http://uug.byu.edu/ > > The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their > author.
