Ok umm... Let me try to rephrase. I have only a little less than $800 for the laptop. New or Used is irrelevant. Macs are not at all likely, due to the fact that I'm programming a Linux gaming client, however a cheap Mac I could dual boot is a deffinite option. Also I'm not wanting to buy something like a laptop online. Unless I can go into a local store and pick it up. This is due to time constraints (I'm impatient), as well as fear of scams (ebay? Uhh no thanks). Anyways guys thanks for the Laptops Unlimited link thats that exactly the type of place I'm looking for, a nice local shop where I can get what I need and talk to a person. If anyone else has a reputable local favorite shop I'ld be interested to hear it. Again thanks, Regards

I also agree that Mac users can very easily become sheeple who call Steve their shepard. I am positive that Steve would love to be in Bill's monopolistic position. =) Even still, I am enjoying being a Mac user. Did I mention the hardware is friggin sexy!
