Apple's top of the line is a great machine but pricey. As an Apple newbie, I'm sticking to the Mac Mini. It works great with my existing hardware. So sue me if I have dual boot computers.

That seems a bit expensive for something that'll be "obsolete" in a year or two

I'm getting a new laptop next month.
Wonder if I should get an older powerbook on the cheap or risk the new Intel based powerbook?

For most people, the money would be better spent on reading and typing lessons over upgrading. I know several people with top of the line systems who type with one finger.
Obviously, this machine is not intended primarily for web surfers.

Great apple propaganda, but my Opteron 280 dual/dual already smokes it running fedora core 4 with kde 3.5 as the desktop at 1/2 the price.

Is this going to turn into one of those ID/Creationism vs. evolution threads?
Or Civil War North v. South threads?
Or COBOL v. FORTRAN?
