Very interesting, cheers for that. I'm pretty sure my next machine is *not* going to be a mac, but still want something really performant & cool-looking. :) (I'll be spending a lot of time, there, after all.) The S series was about the best spec non-apple laptop that I found in my noodling around -- although if there were any recommendations, here, I'd be grateful to hear 'em. Cheers, Doug.
