Anyone running this on a Mac thru Boot Camp?

I wish I could recommend a Dell. I have owned 4 Dell Inspiron computers and all of them have had ac adapter issues. If you do a google search, or look on Dell forums you will see what I mean. I have a friend who overses over 1000 laptops, and he recommend Dell Lattitudes and is unfamiliar with the adapter issue. Additionally the Vostro (sp?) is supposed to be reliable according to some tech reports. I was a computer and electronics tech for 20 years prior to grad school, so I really pay attention to those details.

Alienware is regarded as top of the line, and is about the same price as a Macbook Pro. If you wanting a gaming laptop, it's probably a better deal.

For me personally, I've had it with the whole Microsoft game of installing drivers, patches, ad naseum. I've been using a friend's mac for the last month, and not once have I had a hiccup. It's quite fine to actually have plug and play work automatically. I've been using computers since 32 years now, and seldom have I seen such an elegant device. It is a delightful to sit at a computer and easily intuit how to do something.

I play Total War once a week at most (now that's heretical ), but I use my laptop about 12 hours a day right now to study. For me reliabilty is far more important.
