Shit! I can't figure out if the $999.00 Macbook has firewire or not. That's important. Anyone know?
- Only white macbook and macbook pro have firewire, the pro has fw 400/800rafalski

Kelpie, you are comparing a 38mm fat 2.26 GHz Toshiba that has shit resolution (wxga), less than 2 hours battery (!!!), weights half a kilo more with a 24.1mm slim 2.4 GHz MacBook Pro (wxga+), 5 hours battery (measured with wifi).
They are not even in the same class.You are strangely mixing dollar and sterling prices on the way.
The MacBook Pro is £1,369.00, not £1,824.95 (where did that come from?). Toshiba does have 4GB RAM vs 2GB in the MacBook Pro, but the latter can be upgraded for £40 at Crucial.
It's worth noting, home edition of Vista provided with Toshiba only can address 3GB of RAM.In fairness, Toshiba has a TV tuner. What?!
The mac still is more expensive, but if you drag the student you picked up at the disco last weekend to the store and use her discount, it can help address the problem a bit.
- Still, both of them have glossy displays so they're sure off my listrafalski
