Apple MacBook
Ever since owning an iPhone ive turned into an Apple freak........
This weekend I will be purchasing my MacBook, as I need it generally for personal use to run AutoCAD for overtime in work.
Been watching some videos on youtube, and the new MacBooks run out of the box with Boot camp so I can load windows by a click of a button
Whats best memory to run Windows Vista? as I may upgrade to 2GB MacBook...
Geeky question really.....

they reckon 1gb is average vista ram, 2gb is probably best, especially as your running CAD.

Oh I wasnt telling you to buy a Pro,
Jacko just asked is there one with a bigger screen. 
I think being the nerd I am, I'd opt for a Pro.
However, I do prefer the look of the regular Macbook/Macbook Air.
Apple dont need a big spec anyways...the O/S makes up for the lack of spec.
