    I recently bought 2 of Apple's Aluminium powerbooks (or for that matter notebooks) and thusfar i am very happy with them both.
    Working on them is great and they have that i want that too " 'cool' factor we all are so used to.

    The most striking add-on is the rendevous airport-extreme option wich gives you the possibility to work and connect online to any printer (airport or bluetooth) or server without having to toggle trough the menu you have on the windows OS.
    Also great is that the antenna is beautiful hidden in the screen itself instead of having something 'sticking' out of your powerbook you see at other notebooks when they wanna use the wireless connection.
    Coolest feature is a fiber optic backlit keyboard . Built-in light sensors wich automatically adjust the keyboard illumination and your screenÕs brightness.
    The battery wich should last 5 hours is the only minor thing i could find cause it last give or take 4 hours and 28 minutes!

    I was thinking of buying a 3rd notebook for games only cause on the windows -platform there is thusfar more choice then on the mac.
    My question: is the latest DELL the best choice or Sony and wich one?
