The child of an important person on my office had one and, surprise, most of the games a 12 year old likes to play don't have Mac versions. So, once and for all I can put to rest the notion that Apple hardware is somehow 'super special' and thus justifies the higher price. Intel chipset, Intel integrated graphics, Atheros wireless, Marvell NIC, generic firewire controller. The CD/DVD burner was the slot loading kind, so that's slightly cool (unless you want to pop out the CD before the machine boots when it's nice to have a physical switch), but that's about the only thing unusual about the hardware. If you were to show me the XP device list for a Mac Book and the same list from a Dell 640m (two of which I've also set up recently) I would have given a _slight_ preference to the Dell, mostly because it uses an Intel wireless chipset that does b/g/n and bluetooth on one chip, and I've had very good luck with those wireless cards. A 640m also has a larger screed and costs around $750. In better news, I wound up on modular synth dreamland for about five hours last night, wiring up my John Bowen Pro Wave into modular patches and using it to feed vocoders and all of the things that make computer recording worth<b
