Macbook Pro is much better quality overall though more expensive

i like the macbook pro, but it is very expensive.

You get what you pay for. If you were a mechanic this would be a choice between premium tools or store bought.

Don't cheap out on your tools ;)

Don't waste your time asking and just go with the Mac
It can do everything that HP can and leave you with room to grow.

MacBook Pro ALL the fuckin way. You will be surprised how well it runs WinXP. Im running osx and xp on mine and its pretty much flawless.

highly recommend MacBookPro. You can get a better deal on it then 3k

I have my Mac sitting next to me at work ... I love this piece of machinery.

I have the Macbook pro 15. and it's great!
With Parallels you can run XP (even Vista RC1) in a window at full native resolution.

But to be honnest, the only time i run XP on a Mac is to impress friends ;-)
