Which Mac?

[chedabob]

Basically, I just got a payout of £500 for turning up to college and doing well, so Im looking to upgrade my pc. Ive always wanted a mac, so im looking at their laptops. Which one would give my pc a run for its money. My pc is:

Athlon Xp 2000+
768mb Ram
240gb HDD
Ati Radeon 9200se 128mb AGP

A MacBook would be your best bet. They start at $1099.

Which one? Should I fork out the extra for the white with 1gb of ram, or would the cheapest one beat my pc?

I like the black one, but I want a new computer soon, so Id be willing to buy one of the white ones if it was better than what im running now.

The only diffrence between the mid-white and the black models are the hard drive space. If you can live with 80Gb, then get the white and save yourself $200. Or you could go all out and get the black. All of the MacBooks will be better than your current rig.

You can have a Big Mac for $6

Anywho, what's the newest Mac OS out now?

[chedabob]

Panther I think.

Think Leopard is coming out soon.

I think I might wait till Leopard is out, cos then I don't have to fork out for an upgrade, and there might be some hardware upgrades

You should try toshiba.

[chedabob]

Nope, always wanted a mac.

Do you think I might be able to run Flight Simulator X on the Black Macbook?

Or will it look absolutely awful and/or have terrible FPS?

Macs are for sandal wearing, patchoulie-dabbing bohemians.
