After months of pondering, I eventually ordered a Macbook Pro. I went for the “low-end” model, 2.16GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. €450 didn’t really make sense for the next model up, and a 17inch screen is just too big for a laptop (in my opinion). Now I just have to wait until it arrives :-( trying to supress the urge to check the UPS tracking website every 5 minutes. When it does arrive I’ll have a bit of learning to do to get use to the Mac way of doing things. Talking of such things, if you’re a Mac user, what software do you use for email, spreadsheet, wordprocessor? I just noticed that Openoffice only runs in X11 for Mac at the moment - which would probably be fine for me anyway.
