They're not really pricey if you care about build and component quality and
style though - Sure I could buy a cheap fugly dell for 2/3

If you want to use Windows on Macbooks you also need an external
keyboard and a mouse maybe. Not the most convenient package, if you
need to travel.

Something that I have always noted is that the resale value of used
Mac's tends to be a lot higher than a PC. After two years you can
generally get 50% of what you paid back when you sell a Mac. With a
PC, that value drops to 30% or less.

Interesting. Me and my colleagues are also thinking of switching to
Mac due to Vista crappiness. In fact we're 80% sure that next laptops
will be Macs. My only concern is how to do .Net development and
integration with Flex then. Anyone has a solution to that?

I am just wondering, why everyone is thinking about Mac laptops?
IMHO, it does not worth it. The beauty of Mac is the 24 iMac screen.
If you try it you will never go back to the laptops again.

You do need windows for development.
I have Server 2008 in VMWare Fusion running OK - you really need 3 things
to get reasonable performance:1. A lot of RAM
2. Use bootcamp drivers in VMWare on the top of Fusion ones to get
access/performance of the native apple hardware like bluetooth, camera,
If you actually need to develop .net, run windows. If you just need to run
it for some reason, VMWare is fine, although I prefer soapUI and a seperate
server to run the real services (we're Oracle, not .net but Windows is
Windows).

Would Parallels do the job? Just to switch to Windows, copy my swf in
the IIS and test some stuff there. I wouldn't spend a lot of time on
the .NET side, probably 15% of overall development time.

If you need to build VM on Windows or move / offload server at any time to
windows or linux server then VMWare is your solution. Also, VMWare is more
flexible in network configuration. In terms of footprint and performance
fusion and parallel are very close.Regards,

FYI,
VMWare fusion 2 (now in beta) apparently has dual monitor support in
VM's.

1) gripes about flash 9 in ffox for osx seem to be my biggest bone of contention

I took the plunge when the new Mac Book Pros came out a few months ago
and couldn't be happier. I expected the switch to be somewhat
painful, but was surprised how quickly I was productive again. My

1280X800, buy a
MBP.
