Brilliant pieces of kit. And you can still run Windows on it.
I've got Win 98 and XP Pro running on mine alongside OS X quite happily.

Might be worth a think if you could get away without using Window, and use OpenOffice and linuxx (FreeBSD) apps on Mac. They come loaded, and you can get the 15' with DVD writer and 1gb RAM for about £1600, pricey, but the backlit kb is nice :)

Might come in handy for your work if your work ever needs an Apple for something too.

Got an Inspiron 8600 15.4 in WSXGA PM1400 Centrino with 60Gb HDD for a lot less than it should have been on the outlet site. Very good does all I need and the PM CPU numbers, like those on AMDs should be ignored (or doubled).
