    Will there be an option for it to come pre-loaded with Vista instead of that crappy OSX? Seriously.

    On a less serious note, any proper specs anywhere? Didn't notice anything other than the usual marketing tripe on that site ("a trackpad that is the button", I thought they all did already, just tap the damn thing?).

    Though I've downgraded my screen resolution to 12x10 (actual pixels) on advice from the doc to counter eye strain before I end up with more eye bags than Brownstuff. Some of these smilies are almost human at this scale.

    Heads will roll if I don't get some facts, quick sharp.....

      You forgot to include sarcasm quotes around that comment.

      Windows Vista = Mac OS 7

        But there's more 'stuff' out there to try before you buy for Vista.

        Someone told me the macs could run windows stuff (using emulation?) directly without need to dual boot or any other hassle. Is this true?

        Still waiting for the specs....

                  The shiny new one starts at £949. You can get the old white one for £749.

                  Pro starts at £1399

                  http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/hom...ro?mco=MTE2NjM

                  Very tempted by the £1749 15" model.

                    Most of these figures are a fair few hundreds more than most would want to spend on a computer.
