Please tell me more!!
I am thinking that I will buy a macBook Pro when I get home just before uni starts (I was thinking of buying be post leaving and claiming back VAT but then i wouldnt get iLife 07 and all the new jazz)

The macbook is great. The keyboard is fantastic. It plays HD video without any issues (the dual core cpu helps).
It has a built in isight and front row seems better than media centre.

The down side is applications that are not native (i.e office) take a little while to load (although they run fine); also with the macbook the integrated video card won't do the latest 3d games.

It currently only has 512mb ram, so everything should be quicker when I upgrade the ram.

Oh and the screen is much brighter than the ibook, I like that.

Battery life seems to be around 4 hours with standard use (with wireless and bluetooth).

I've also installed windows XP on it so I can use programs like Visio etc.

Nice, looks like a good lappy. Me, I went the opposite way - I sold my iBook and have ordered a beast (not a laptop at all). Its a "notebook" 1 half of 10 minutes of battery life, but good specs all 'round. I'll bring it over if we ever lan again. It should arrive some time next week.

Yes we should have a lan sometime.
