Not a bad site Winni, thanks for the link.
Anyhow, took a trip to the good ol' FutureShop (basically the store I goto for all my electronical needs for the more obscure games/DVD series), looked at some of the MacBooks they had on display, and holy crap these buggers are expensive.....
Only one on display I found that had adequate specifications for my liking (I believe it was a Core2Duo 2.21ghz processor, Radeon X600, 1gb DDR2 ram {can be bumped up to a max of 2gb}, 120gb {or was it 160gb} HDD, and your other standard stuff) was in the $1600s...., and anything cheaper had an integrated graphics chips, which I want to avoid like the plague since my mac lappy is going to be my primary gaming machine at college.
(not bringing my home gaming-rig over there)
Are there any popular sites for ordering these things that may be possibly cheaper than at a retail shop? Wouldn't mind saving every penny I can when it comes to purchasing something like a laptop with decent hardware, especially when those things can't really be upgraded.
Also, any idea if they come with the actual installation disc for MacOSX? Something tells me I may screw something up when it comes to bootcamp on my future laptop, which may require an HD format....
