Are you using the bootcamp feature?

But, do not expect to the Macbook be way beter than a PC. Mac is good on muti thread funcionts, but will fail into single ones. The only good thing is that Mac handle RAM in a better way than XP and vista. But Windows 7 handle it as go as MAC.
I was working on a Mac for many times and I can tell to you: it will fail on some quick tasks, like Flash sites. They are slower on Mac then on a PC, with the same or less power.

- its handle ram very nicely.
- Exposé is one of the better invention from a human beeing . Just search on Youtube.
- TimeMachine is a good way to handle backups
- It will handle many opened programs at once. Windows prior to 7 just sucks at that.
- To install something, most of times you just drop the APP to the APP folder. To remove it, just drag to the trash. Its simple like that, no register problems and so.
- Almost NO VIRUS. Laught at your PC friends when they send .exe infected files, heheh
- its freak beatiful
- MAIL is far more inteligent that Outlook Express or Outlook.
- iCal and Dock will be your best friends.

Sounds nice. I just wanna know can it play Dreamcast emulators.
hum...don't remember is there is a MAC version of it. You can run it using VMware. (bootcamp doesn't allows you to use both SO at the same time, VMware do).

And JAVA emulators run natively on Mac too

typing on a mac is better than using a keyboard, no offense. My wrist hurts when i type on a keyboard.I know what you mean.
i've been using my pro laptop for past 2 years and havent looked back since. i like it cause it's really convenient to use for my day and night job. it's good for my artsy and music stuff. it pretty much pays for itself. and what O said is right, i've never had any viruses or anything retarted happen to my laptop since i've bought it.I bet it helps you alot when you DJ.
but about those emulators i'm really not sure.

I am using a Macbook Pro 15incher. I got it last year for a good deal ($900 for a brand new, it was $1800 at the time) and used it sparingly until I used the bootcamp feature and installed Windows on it, then it because my main PC. It's great on battery life if you treat the battery right, and overall the best computer product I have ever purchased. I now run Windows 7 on a separate partition because the CPU is an Intel processor (or else I wouldn't be able to do this) and it has no issues whatsoever. I use it for editing, managing the forum, MUGEN, Emulators, School work and the built in wireless card is the most sensitive one I own. It picks up signals around me that my regular Sony Vaio could not. My opinion is go for it. You will not be sorry.Dude that helps alot, but I think Imma get the 13in. If I can find the 15in for a cheaper price, then I would get it.

If you are doing artsy stuff like with Photoshop or video editing......Macs are the traditional way to go.
Yeah, like I've said: the colors on mac are 99% identical to the print ones. What you see is what you will get.
