[LAU] Mac Book Pro or not

Hi all, First of all, thanks for your answers concerning the firebox audio card. I'm planning to buy a laptop for audio work. I do not care about graphics, etc..only audio. Is it worthy to buy a Mac Book pro? Has anyone ever worked with this machine? I see that a linux can be installed on it. Is this recommended? Has anyone worked with the Mac OSX? Can we directly install linux apps on it as it is unix-bases os? (with some additional libs?) Also, my concern is that it really costs a lot..in europe, 1800€ for the basic model (15" monitor). With that money, isn't it better to buy another great laptop? Also, is there any problem with laptops and linux? How can I be sure linux could installed on it..(graphic card, processor, firewire..) Advices welcome!! Thank you very much. -- julien
