the only thing i'd say is the macbook line has a high resale value so don't look at the price tag and think it's overkill, depending on how long you keep it 40-60% of it is recoup-able

If only this post was around when i got my macbook pro 07, bloody 07 model.

im thinking of updating mine as well i get a load of glitching unless thats logic 9

Cryo did you make a decision yet? where you heading with your choice?

Originally posted by cryophonik Thanks for the info RANN! What about the networking part - will I be expecting any major headaches trying to network a Mac with my PC? That's a pretty important consideration since, as mentioned, my PC has 6 HDs totalling around 4TB - that includes backup space for both computers and our photos, videos, and music, not to mention a shared printer. I really need the laptop to network seamlessly with it. I was meaning in terms of price and being the latest/coolest (AFAIK) model.

The Macbook Air is the latest, fairly inexpensive, and shockingly powerful:

http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/20/macb...011-benchmarks/

"The first benchmarks for the MacBook Air 2011 refresh (released alongside Lion) are rolling in, and they show that the Intel Core i5 processor in both the 13″ and 11″ variation are screamers. How fast? Well, just check out the Geekbench scores, which for both models are at least double the speed of the 2010 Core 2 Duo’s they replaced. In fact, the new MacBook Air’s are so fast that the speed of the new 1.7GHz Core i5 13″ model is faster than the 2010 MacBook Pro 17″ that was a 2.6GHz Core i7, as ElectricPig says:

To put these benchmarks into perspective, the 2010 17-inch 2.67 GHz Core i7 MacBook Pro scored 5423. For [$999] the 11-inch MacBook Air offers a benchmark on par with last year’s [$2499] 17-inch MacBook Pro."

They start at $1000, and they are by FAR Apple's coolest laptop, and their most recent. Tonnes of PC manufacturers are now trying to duplicate the Air.

I haven't decided yet. It turns out that most of the Macbook Pros that I'm seeing in that price range are from 2006-07 and the 2008+'s are a little more. I'm not in a hurry, so we're going to just keep an eye out for a good deal and hopefully snatch one up over the next few months. In the meantime, I'm going to wipe the HP's OS and reinstall everything (again).
