They come stock with a pretty hefty suite of developer tools too.



And........ It runs Windows natively.

I just put Windows XP on my MacBook Pro, and it runs it as well and as
fast
as do my PCs. I installed it in a manner that allows me to switch
between
OSX and Windows without re-booting, so I can easily run the Windows
applications for which there are no Mac equivalent; like the Streets
and
Trips map software. It's the best of both worlds.



If they traded the idiotic single button trackpad for an industry
standard 2
button variety I'd buy one of those. Yeah, I know, there's tricks to get
around it, but I want my second button, just like *all* the competition
provides.

Haven't checked out the MacBooks, have you? They have a "two-finger"
right-button emulation mode that's really sweet -- better than a "real"
button because it's always right under your finger.

Plus, of course, multi-button mouses (mice?) are readily available.

Yes I have, I've used one a number of times and it's one of the "tricks" I
referred to. I want a real 2 button track pad, the Toshiba laptop I use has
one, and I won't buy a laptop that doesn't. It's a feature I want, and a
feature that you can get anywhere else, nothing will change my mind.
