Re: [linux-audio-user] To MacBook or not to MacBook, that's the question

Hi all, I'm considering to buy a new laptop, and a message some time ago on the list regarding a comparison between Dell and MacBook made me reconsider my stance towards MacBook. The difference between the price for comparable systems is indeed not that big, especially not since they offer a 20% reduction if you become 'student developer'. On top of that, getting OSX attracts me more than getting Vista ;). So now I am considering getting one of these top-notch macbook pro's, but I'd like to inform myself beforehand. My basic requirement list: * runs linux with all hardware supported * ruggedness (I carry it around everywhere) * support quality (Apple's guarantee doesn't seem as good as the one from Dell) Specific questions: * what kind of problems will I see when I want to install Fedora on it? * are all interrupts routed to the same line (as in the mini's)? I don't want IRQ sharing between the SATA controller and the audio card/firewire controller, ... * how about the ATI x1600 graphics card?

Are there any MacBook pro owners on the list that care to answer my questions and/or give a general feedback (feedforward?) on the MacBook?
