Apple's design team always makes a sharp-looking product. Not too bad on the price, since it likely might fall a bit after it's been out for a while [at the moment, though, a comparable XP(or soon Vista) loaded Toshiba might be had for quite a bit less].
My guess on the dual-boot scenario will be that it can be done [likely any number of multi-boot systems are possible], but that the age-old "Void the Warranty" catch will be the price. Not a big deal for those comfortable enough to multi-boot in the first place. Should be interesting, too, to see if there are any software issues with the new engines underneath. I wonder if updated recompiled versions will add another cost to folks with G4s moving up - the updates aren't likely to be free. Should be interesting . . . Gary |

Thats another thing I'm not happy with Apple about. Their pro apps are ready to go on Intel processors, the same versions as the PPC, but Apple are charging a $50 cross grade fee to their customers. I could understand charging a little fee for new disks, or a large fee if the software was a new version release, but to charge people $50 to swap out a disk when you're also asking them to buy a $2000 machine is a little off.
It reminds me of the Tiger release. Tiger only came on DVD, if your Mac only had a CD you had to buy tiger then send off a form with an additional $15 to get the CD's. To me thats just wrong.

I can't wait for a 17" MacBook Pro to come out, of course, with battery life statistics! If it gets at least 4 hours like my current Dell 17" Inspiron 9300, I'd snatch it up in a heartbeat.
