    Also if you do decide on a laptop, factor in Windows 7 release in October. There are no stand alone prices out yet, but I think if you get a computer with Vista or buy vista stand alone after June, you can upgrade to 7 for $29. This is worth considering since laptops prices have dropped recently and a grande buys you a pretty good unit ATM. Have a look into the Windows 7 thing anyway.

    If you're on a Mac (unllikely) try XSlimmer and Onyx. Otherwise, do what they said before.

    If you can lay down the cash, good decision. Also make sure it won't affect much you do, though I doubt it can as you can run windows on them anyway if need be, but trust me, you won't want that. May as well put a virus on too :p. Check around to see if any updates are due to the range, from memory is September when they update the iMac?
