Living in SA has its quirks = for example, Apple computers cost about 20 percent more than in the US. So that puts me in a predicament. I need to choose my next machine - it has to be something powerful and needs a nice big screen. I have narrowed it down between a Thinkpad Z Series and a MacBook Pro version.
I think I have to go for the Thinkpad even though I absolutely crave a Macbook Pro...
Z61P Widescreen ThinkPad: Intel Centrino Duo (Intel Core 2 Duo T7200) 2.00GHz, 2GB, 100GB, ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 256MB graphics, 15.4" WUXGA (1680 x 1050), Multi-burner Dual Layer, Modem, Gigabit, Intel 3945 11a/b/g Wireless, IEEE1394, Bluetooth, Security Chip, FPR, Windows Vista Business, 3 Year carry-in warranty.
This will cost me the same as the lower end Macbook Pro...
Vicious right? Niiiiicce...
