Yeah, they're definitely great machines. Just too costly for me, especially since I have a nice Lenovo Thinkpad provided by work that's only 6 months old.

And yep, I'd have to run Windows on it often, as some programs I use don't have Mac versions.

So if I get one it would probably be in the future when I could get my employer to buy it, or I could budget it into a research grant etc. as they're too pricey for a simple goof online, watch video etc. computer to supplement my work laptop.

On that note, that's why I'm interested in the iPad still, and hope it adds features I need with apps etc, as then I'd have my Apple web surfing machine.
