decent thred and i get what your sayin about the bootcamp thing BUT to me its like buying a subaru because it looks nice but then adding evo engine because it sounds better or something. i know its not a very accurate analagy but im wired been workin. You buy a mac because you want a mac not to want a mac then go i want pc applications on it, you cant always have your cake and eat it.

You are indeed Correct - You would not buy an Apple if all you wanted to do was run Windows Apps. I have run for example OS_X on my Athlon and they ran but not nearly as good as a real Apple would - in other words - very buggy.

All i was trying to say was:
Look at what you will be using the Laptop for - how much money you have to spend on Programs and from this you can choose to buy either an Apple or a PC - simple as that !

I see no-one mentioned "BOOTCAMP" which lets you Install Windows XP and run any app you feel the need. Lets not forget that A second hand apple can fetch a very good price compared to the Same Spec PC which goes way down the second you buy it.

Bascially for Application - Apple is very strong, Gaming is PC. As the Apple Laptop features a X1600 and runs @ 1400x900 - then it can cope with games, I have seen it run no problem BF:2, HalfLife Ep1 and many others.

Those are the relatively new apples, not the old ones. The Intel ones also cost a lot, even used. More so than the same components with a "PC" badge.

And for the price you pay for a laptop with an X1600 video card is going to cost you the same as a considerably better spec'd "PC" laptop with a nvidia 7900 GTX.

Unless someone specifically needs an apple for a good reason, then I always advocate the average x86 laptop. If you don't have something planned that can only be done on apple, why would you pay hundreds of dollars more (or pounds) for overpriced hardware with a nice shell?
