What chipset are the current macbooks?

Tiger is a superb OS, and is in its 10.4.9 form, so just about all major issues (if there were any) have been addressed. I think you'll be happy with a MacBook if you purchase one :).

Trying to decide on a laptop

I echo the MacBook suggestion, and recommend the $1299 version, which gets you a DL DVD burner, 120 GB HD and 2.1 C2D. The integrated video is apparently better now than it once was, so that's something to keep in mind as well.

Why all the Apple secrecy?

That was actually seven years ago now, believe it or not.

Apple does tend to be secretive, but they sure have talked up the iPhone over the past month.

Time for New Lappy

Virtual PC is now extinct. Boot Camp allows for you to run Windows natively. Parallels allows for virtualization, rather than emulation. Thanks to your school's stupid requirements, however, I'd say getting a new PC laptop is probably your best bet.

Apple Safari

Of course. Safari 3.0 will be released with Leopard in October, and will be available to both Windows and Mac users.

Apple Safari

Do you really wonder if a beta product will get some fixes to it?

Installing Leopard on a PC

Well, it's illegal, if you consider that to be a problem. It may also be highly unstable. Finally, a $1099 MacBook gets you a great package (except the lack of a dedicated video card). 2.0 C2D, 1 GB RAM, 80 GB HD.

Need laptop recommendations

Actually, I think you're thinking of Rosetta, which is an Intel Mac application under the hood of Tiger that emulates PowerPC-based applications. Anything that's not univeral or designed specifically for Intel Macs requires emulation (Office for Mac 2004 is a big example of this, along with...

New MacBook Pros released

Well, the 2.4 comes with a 256 MB 8600 nVidia card, and a 160 HD. both the 2.2 and 2.4 come with 2 GBs of RAM now, so that's no longer a reason to get the higher of the two. If you can, I'd wait a couple months for the refurbs to start coming along, and then grab a 2.4 for the price of a...
