Mnemonix,
it is possible to install a different OS on it
I was pretty sure that some flavor of Linux would run on them, but I was not so sure about Windows.
my post above (that was probably done while you were typing that one) basically agrees with you
Yep.
except, by the way, the insides of a mac are usually not up to the same standards as fat guy PeeCees when it comes to cooling and upgradeability, they basically cram it all in there like any other cheap laptop (which is what the full-size macs pretty much are, a laptop on the back of a big screen)
OK, at least they
appear to be of higher quality then. Like I said, I use Macs occasionally, and there is certainly a huge difference between the look and feel of the keyboard, display, case of a Macbook and the corresponding parts of a cheap plastic bomber. I never opened a Macbook, but I would expect to find rather standard laptop components inside. Their outsides, however, are definitely good and better than many others.
i still really like the idea of a really light linux on a sleek aluminum MBP, the price is high, but hey, you have to pay for the best...
It would be decadent, at least. :wink:
Nothing pisses me off more than preacy Linux nuts trying to convert everyone to their cause.
No, not preaching, just pointing at alternatives. :wink:
I don't like those militant people either, whatever side they are on. They always leave a bad impression on their respective communities.
EDIT: On a second thought, I am sometimes militant, too, but only mildly so.
