Wow, surprised how many people dislike the Gateway product, or at least mistrust their quality.
Maybe should have mentioned this is a work computer so I didn't have control over the source - all I could do was lay out some specs & possible sources. I picked Alienware, Dell & Gateway as sources. All three were actually within a few bucks of each other on the quotes. So, it's here and it's mine, in a a sense, and I did have to agree to give up the desktop to get it...probably because I asked for such a high-end laptop. At any rate, with a 3.4GHz processor, ATI 9700 video card and 80 GB hard drive, it's an improvement over the Dell 1.6GHz desktop with integrated video card and 20GB hard drive. Now only time will tell. |

For reference our call center is about 97% Dells. There are well over 1000 computers running here right now. This company also has locations all over the world.

MAC is pointless unless you have a very specific use for it. Even my brother down at SCAD in Georgia uses a PC as his main system. He said MAC is great for graphics, but since everything else he does is PC oriented, he would need two computers. So why not just use a pumped up PC which does just as good? |

If you only use 1 MAC application then it might be a good idea to look into PearPC. I've used that program to "boot OS 10.3.4" in Windows XP.
Granted it's slower than an actual MAC due to emulation but for a single application it's kinda cool and quite useable.

If you want an expensive ($40-$80k) computer, then check out http://www.go-l.com But man, if I ever hit the lotto, I would be owning one of those, along with their 69" Cinerama display
