....that's the machine that I always come back too (in my head)... Porsche... it's even a nice word to type (Boxster doesn't count... that is not a Porsche)

Actually, the Boxster (and Cayman) are supposed to be sports car designed with the pure joy of driving in mind. They don't really have the aura of the 911, but I think a Boxster would be a nice car to own (depending on where you live).

I've driven the boxster and it just didn't feel like a sports car... it's like (to put it in BMW terms :D) comparing an entry level 3 series to an M3... it's got the form and function... but it just lacks the passion of the sport. Another way to compare it (and probably a better comparison) would be a Mustang V6 vs Shelby Mustang GT500. They're both Mustangs however, the engine, suspension and brakes are VASTLY superior in the Shelby. The V6 is so you can "have a mustang" (which is how I view the Boxster) and the Shelby is if you love to DRIVE Mustangs (a real Porsche).

The Cayman... well that's just a nicer Toureg :p

I think you mean Cayanne mate :p, the Cayman is basically a mix between the Boxter and the 911.

My parents have a Cayanne Turbo S, bloudy fast, just wish the engine was in a coupe instead of the 4WD ><.

From what I have read, Porsche deliberately made the Boxster and Cayman slower/not as fun to drive as to the 911 because they want their flagship to be superior.

Back on topic, I take this over a GT3 any day of the week.:p

The Cayman is the hardtop version of the Boxster, with an ounce more power.

And aynone who says the Cayanne is just a Toureg, well you're a moron. They might share a chasis, but the engine, suspension, AWD components, body, inerior, steering rack, and soul are all Porsche.

I ordered an iMac 24-inch but cancelled it after a few days. Realized that I really don't need another computer at home yet.

Things I want are a BT keyboard/mouse combo. It's horrible crunching over my desk to use my laptop for most of my day. I'm broke because I just got a new car a few weeks ago or else I'd be back to my old snapping up gadgets left and right ways :(

They do not even make what I want!

Where is the 1920*1200 anti glare option on the 15 inch MacBook Pro?

Also where is the Quad Core option?

And if you put that screen you also should have a Blue Ray burner too!

Cannot forget the 8 hour battery from the 17 inch too.

Dell makes 1920*1200 15 inch laptops so why can't Apple?

At least put FW 800 on the unibody MacBook.

And optimums maximums style keyboard built in
