buy local, if you are a student you get a EDU discount of around 10% and also take it overseas to get another 10%

Loz,

This article may be of interest about the new apples and software

http://www.smh.com.au/news/macs/why-app ... 74076.html PS If you are after light weight, I got an Asus W5000 from Birddy, about the same size, weight and colour as a powerbook

MacBook Pro is the one that has my interest peaked. Just from the specs it sounds sweet. I bet the price will be a bitter pill though. Next tax return... BTW, I am down to one Windows box for PS and NC. Everything else is *nix. I am just so sick of the security issues with Windows and Windows software.

Cheers

If you are talking about the mini mac 1.5Ghz Intel Core Solo the Aus price is $999.00 and the 1.66Ghz Intel Core Duo is $1,299.00 - not expensive at all

Yeah I thought you were talking about the mini...

[losfp]

Ah yes, that would explain the huge price difference!

I can definitely recommend the PowerBooks. My humble 867Mhz powerbook 12" has been a little beauty for almost 3 years now (complete and disastrous hard disk failure last month notwithstanding). you will pay a nice little premium for one though!!

I like OS X. Careful though, it's very "different" from Windows, and getting used to the UI will almost certainly throw you off for at least a few weeks while you get used to it. Now I won't use anything else as my main machine. Still have Win XP boxes for the home theatre (specialised software/video card) and fileserver (price, baby).. So I am definitely not a biased mac zealot.

There are so many prices, can someone list the real prices that matches what?

Look back in this thread - the prices I have given are for the two new models of the mini mac as stated on the Apple site

Well, so many prices were put down back there, and secondly, google doesn't give accurate price, it only gives me good websites.
