    PC World: World's Fastest Vista Laptop



    Fastest: Apple MacBook Pro

    PC World's latest review of laptops has discovered the fastest laptop to run Microsoft's latest incarnation of Windows - Vista. The ironic antithesis of it all, the laptop happens to be a 17" 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro.

    The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year is a Mac. Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year--or for that matter, ever--is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware. The $2419 (plus the price of a copy of Windows Vista, of course) MacBook Pro's PC WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 beats Gateway's E-265M by a single point, but the MacBook's score is far more impressive simply because Apple couldn't care less whether you run Windows.

    There is no such thing as "the fastest" in the computer world.

    Heh, I just drowned my Alienware in water after I hit my giant cup of water with my elbow. Nothing happened but the LCD screen doesnt work, even though it's under warranty I think I am buying one of the 2.6ghz MacBook pro's. I get a pretty steep discount as a student.

    Are you going to run OS X or Vista? Or both?

    Since I need to spend a lot of time in Windows, I wont be virtualizing it, I will most likely create a tripple boot with OS X, Windows XP and some Linux Flavor.
