Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try it!

Hm, I did compare Laptops of similiar categories, and Macs aren't that 
expensive in comparison. What I do know though, is that a Mac will 
simply *run* unless something really is broken. And that's something I'd 
like a Laptop to have. Though I'm mostly annoyed how often I have to 
dabble at my Desktop PC when I update drivers and things go haywire, 
it's okay because I figure that *I* make the hardware choices, and maybe 
not the best ones, and how can you *really* expect things to work 100% 
unless you
a) do it completely yourself (aka Linux or such) or
b) its designed and cared for by a company (aka Apple).

And since I'm becoming a multimedia programmer, a Mac was a sensible 
idea to enhance my capabilities and experience with different systems. 
You never know what you might end up with, once I'm done and search for 
a job. :-)
