Calling the Mac experts

[Lemur]

For what it's worth, Caravel, a buddy of mine who is a Linux/BSD admin for a media group phoned me up with excitement after trying his first OS X notebook. "You have no idea what it's like to have a Unix laptop that just works," he said. So clearly in the notebook space there is room for the hardware/software integration that OS X offers.

IN support of which, go to any Unix convention and count the OS X notebooks. There will be many.

Yes a lot of UNIX people are like that - very different to the Linux geeks - and I'm a Linux geek at heart. The way I look at it though, here in the UK a Mac costs twice as much as an equivalent spec PC. For me it's just not worth it, but for others it probably is. In all honesty I don't like Apple due to how they operate - I like them less than MS so I'm probably quite biased.
