Re: Dell M90 & M65 Laptops Are Up

The side issue for me, a long term Mac user, is that my new Mac may be
the best PC I've ever owned <I use laptops only>. I'm still looking at
the landscape, letting things settle before I plunk down hard cash.

Quote from:
http://switchtoamac.com/site/macs-are-faster-benchmarking-virtualization-technology-increased-market-share.html

"New data and benchmarks demonstrating that the Intel powered MacBook
Pros and iMacs run Windows faster than today's PCs dismiss the myths
that Macs are slower, behind the technology curve, and are more costly.
The point I'd like to make is that the Intel based Macs were designed
and engineered to be Macs that run OS X, not Windows. The fact that
they run Windows XP faster than WinTel machines proves that Apple's
hardware engineering, innovation, and quality surpasses its
competitors."

There are Facts, Biased Tests, and then Politician's opinions with a
world between them, and likewise I won't attempt to personally describe
speeds of various laptops as "fastest", since that is so debatable.

What is coming to the forefront, though, is the ability finally to run
both Mac OSX and Windows on a single machine.

It is about time.
