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

Re: Mac or PC?
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

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.
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.
