What's the deal with student discounts referenced above ? I have children in primary school, so if I were to buy for them then could I get the discount ? Do you need to buy through the school. or is there a discount code or something that is used to get the discount ?

we have 3 macs, a macbook, a macbook al and a mac mini......PC never allowed in our home again
But HD can be achived if files are downloaded ( use vlc and not quicktime )
As an engineer, practicality dictates that I use a PC.
They're all, 'Intel Inside', so you're just paying over the top for packaging. As an engineer, practicality dictates that I use a PC.

Those looking to swerve Windows would get better value from a PC Hardware based laptop running Linux or Solaris. Linux is not great for playing games so to tick all your boxes and get the best bang for your buck you probably should look at getting an XP Pro (Vista is very slow) laptop from one of the main manufacturers like HP or Dell.

Macs are expensive compared to similarly-specced PCs, no doubt about it.

i do a lot of presentation-powerpoint.
a)speed-hate a slow computer.
Ditto what Askalot saidd)HD capabilities
e)my other half may need to play computer games on it.
There are alternatives on Mac, but if you use Powerpoint, Word, Excel etc. alot, you will find it a bit of a pain, particularly if sharing with PC users.
I switched to a MacBook last week and love it and there is no way I would go back to a windows laptop.
I also have parallels for windows installed on it so I can run a virtual window machine right there on my MacBook.
Best thing of all: everything works!
