Your blog is very helpful to me. I have got good and useful information about Laptops, notebooks and computers and it can be helpful for other users also.

A Macbook Pro running Mac/Linux/XP AND Vista. Now that's the solution, best of all possible worlds.

A no knife needed, just a copy of Parallels

Good points Alex. However, you are getting your money’s worth in power and features. And yes, Vista isn’t anybody’s OS of choice, but I have to say that if you take a knife to it you can get it running on a par with XP – if you have the RAM to back it up of course!

We are planning on doing a Macbook Pro comparison piece in the near future, so let’s see how the competition fares…

looks like a serious bit of kit. however with the obscene price point and vista installed, it would take some persuasion not to go for a mac book pro instead

I’d be more than happy to take a look at the new netbooks coming out now – some of these things seem great! Stay tuned…

Thanks for your comments Jon. Expect a review of Netbooks and ultra-portables soon.

Also, to be fair, at 18.4″ isn’t this beast more of a desktop replacement than a portable, on-the-go-bust-out-photoshop-and-start-designing-anywhere laptop?

It’d be great to see a review from the opposite end of the spectrum – i.e. a mini notebook – and how it compares in a freelancing context.

Sigh. It sounds a dream, but that price tag is obscene. (I'm a poet and don't I know it!).

I'm liking the idea of more tech reviews like this. Keep 'em coming!
