Mac or PC?
 
Just a quick straw poll so what people use at home and work, might be allowed multiple answers.

Mac is my favourite.

Looked at the new MacBooks prior to buying my new Vaio, but it was over-priced and under-powered compared to similar XP only laptops. I will be putting a dual-boot OSX on here though ;)

You can get a seriously nice laptop for that kind of wonga. If I was spending that amount I'd definitely look at the Macbook Pros. They can now dual-boot so you can Windows XP and Mac OSX on the same machine (handy if there's some Windows applications you use all the time). Nice 2Ghz Macbook will cost you about $4000. Then there are the Sony Vaios (of which I have two, and highly recommend) - this one is nice at $2799. Or this Dell is very good value. :D

Thanks Hutch

I currently have a harman/kardon (HP) with a 17inch screen. What I really need is a built in key pad. The USB attachments dont work for me. Will check out above.
