This thing totally kicks arse! E.g., it wakes from sleep in under a second usually, has a lit keyboard that adjusts to ambient lighting, and ...
I'm running Parallels with Vista Ultimate - it runs both OSs at once! The windows task bar on the bottom and the mac on the top. You could add XP, Linux, whatever and run them all at the same time. They run seamlessly together - it's amazing. I've used Virtual PC in the past and it sucked, but this is nothing like it: it's actually 2 OSs running independently. It's super cool. So you're thinking performance would suck; but it doesn't! I've ran multiple apps like office, browsers, etc on both OSs with no problem whatsoever. That being said I don't run things like Photoshop so I dunno how that would be although I've heard it's ok, but who knows. I've got the 2.1ghz dual core CPU and 2gb of mem. I can go up to 3gb and will when the 2gb modules come out (didn't see any out there, but maybe I missed them). No problems thus far though. Maybe I'll try the Vista jump drive trick ... just thought of that ... but it's all academic because I'm ok so far. Don't know how they do it, but it works ... Anyway the laptop is super awesome. The downsides I've seen so far: battery life is not as good as my beloved iBook 13"; but that doesn't surprise me with the larger screen, bluetooth etc. I'd estimate 4-5 hours at full power which is how I run it. I'll try it with DVDs this fall when I got to Europe. I've got the airplane power adapter so hopefully my flight will have power and I won't have to worry. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 The most significant release in over 10 years.
