holy crap.  they hacked the new intel based macs so that you can install windows on them!!!   i love my old laptop, but the macbook pros just look cooler.  i might get one now...

my current laptop:

the macbook pro:

it's at least faster than my current laptop (2ghz dual core + 256mb ati X1600) vs my current (1.7ghz singlecore + 128mb ati 9700pro).  they're the same weight (5.5lbs), same thickness (1in).   I guess i won't buy it.  not a big enough of a difference, and I guess since my laptop is only 2yo and still plenty fast for anything that comes out.  I'm just afraid they'll make future revisions of the laptop windows xp-proof, which would eliminate a lot of the applications I use and already have (and games hehe).

Oh well.  Saving my pennies for a new car.  The lease is about to expire on my current one.  Gonna buy it straight out this time.
