You can also ask Project 3 for a quote on an Apple MBP. http://www.project3.co.za, probably better prices.
However, a major gripe with OSX is that it still does not have a proper Java 6 port AFAIK. Something else you should consider. The prices in South Africa are still really good for laptops. At the beginning of 2006, the exchange rate was Rand 7 / Euro 1. It is now more than Rand 10 / Euro 1. I checked the prices at the beginning of 2007, and they were much much cheaper in South Africa, since the prices had not been adjusted yet. However, within time, I am sure that they will adjust, so you will be paying a lot more for Dell laptops in South Africa. So rather buy them earlier rather than later. Alternatively, take a flight over to New York and buy it there, just be careful of customs on the way home ... ;-) Regards Heinz -- Dr Heinz M.
