its not this simple. its noisy in the store. and it can eb silent unless you run PS and video conversion... I just read couple reviews about HP 6830s its ok buts noisy and if people notice that it means it is noisy cus i am very demanding about it.

MacBook Pro.

a fucking A I know. But how hard is that to go from PC to Mac? and price difference is honestly huge. 1k comparing to about 3k for 17".

I have an HP that is really quiet.

Going from PC to Mac is easy when it comes to most things, hard when it comes to others.

However, you can just put windows on the mbp as well, and boot whichever you need at the time.

That's one thing my Mac lappies do well that my HP doesn't. They are pretty much slient.

[HorseShit]

quietest would be macbook air but honestly they are all pretty quiet

The MBPro is a monster machine and works awesome Adobe will transfer your licenses from Windows to Mac OS for the cost of the disks. That probably covers your biggest issue.

I now prefer Apple's email program connected to an IMAP server to Outlook. MS Office is available, but honestly too expensive. I'm using Google Apps for docs and spreadsheets.

I have supported Windows systems in large enterprise environments since the mid-90s. I love my Macs because they just work. I spend very little time with "care and feeding" type of upkeep of any Mac.

oh yeah... throw in the external 24" LED Cinema display ... it's the best display for the money out there at may a grand less than what you'd spend on an equivalent from LaCie or NEC.

I got a Dell Latitude D630 with a solid state drive. The only way you can run cooler and quieter is to leave it turned off.

yours is FOR TEEN inches, man, i need it 17". So far my Vaio is not that loud but it's got vertical pixel line so the matrix is broken. And I am not gonna pay for brand names like Vaio or MCbook.
