Naquadda,

Thanks for the link. I will use it. It is so hard to decide which laptop to get, it's crazy!
I'm tempted just to find a used Macbook, avoid all the installation issues. Then again,
to run osx on a notebook to show others would be quite something to see their reactions... :-)

I truly think (this is my opinion, mind you - nothing else) that most Mac users use their Macs as a way to superiority to others (PC users) when in reality, all they have is a nice fancy unix box, running on PC architecture. The only difference is the software. I'd want to run OSX on a PC to prove my point to others. But that's my opinion.

But the reason why I want a laptop with OSX is not to show off to, but to run applications! I want to run more than just Windows! I want all 3 major operating sytems on one machine that's portable. And run any application ever written! No limitations and no boundaries!

I have done some research and have kinda found the following:

Dell Inspirion 1525 - It seems to work right out of the box! However this is not sold anymore by dell! Would the new Inspirion 15 work with 10.5.6? It looks quite nice.

The only drawback I have is the Intel GMA chipset. I don;t know if it would be good enough to run Maya and major 3d applications. I'm sure any major video app would be fine, it's PCI express!

I'll keep you posted on my findings. There's no rush on this. I want to make a good decision. Anyhow, thanks for your help.

ps. What thinkpad model were you looking at? Just curious...
