Trust me, being the stereotypical Mac-fan clearly explains your attitude towards "IT guys" (whatever that means) - FYI I'm the chief of technology here, I built up this 150+ machines (both workstations rendering farm included), centralized HPC storage etc system architecture of ours from a 5-people-in-a-room-with-a-desktop level over the past 8-9 years (and yes, we do have some Mac Pros and Macbook Pros.)

But, seriously, what do you base this statement on?
Beyond decades of personal use (first Mac in my life was a IIc) it's based on my 10+ years real world professional experience of mine with all things Apple. You know, something that - based on your post - I bet you can't claim.

Here is a quote from a cnet review of the 17" Mac Book Pro:

"...With the GeForce 9600M GPU turned on, we got 4 hours and 14 minutes on our video playback battery drain test, which is very impressive for a desktop replacement. Switching the 9600M off added about 30 minutes."

Now, this a SEVENTEEN inch laptop, which can run video in a real-world test, for almost 5 hours! Not too shabby, in my book.
Yeah, because CNET has anything to do with "real-life".

You diss people who, unlike you, work in the field since yet praise some paid mouthpiece as "real world test"...


...get a clue.
