Yes, I posted the link to the Macbook Pros here on the day they were announced. You'll have to define "really good" and "nothing better on the market." They are a nice package, but I don't think it is fair to compare them to this 64-bit dual core laptop. Essentially they are just dual-core Pentium-M CPUs... The ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 256MB, though quite good, is not the same card as the NVIDIA 7800 GTX either. Then you have the SATA-100 (Macbook) vs. the SATA-150 and RAID option in the Xtreme.. They really don't compare -- but for the price, the Apple is a nice laptop. -elc. > >> >>-elc.
