Same basic platform with just a slight difference in exterior shell
design. And the Acer has an integrated camera.

I like the MacBookPro and Apple's support for running WinXP on it, but
I just don't have anything I want to run on OS X. I've used both, and
I like WinXP better for useability.

Some things for people to consider before buying a MacBook Pro for
running WinXP:

- No del key. So you'll have to remap something to be able to
ctrl-alt-del to bring up the task manager.

- No second "mouse" button on the trackpad. So you'll either need to
map a key-mousebutton combo to get the same effect or always plug in a
real mouse with multiple buttons.

- OS X can't write to NTFS volumes (it can read though), and WinXP
can't read/write to HFS+. So finding a common filesystem for sharing
files across both OS environments may be an issue.
