[osflash] OT: mac book? or Dell?

[Michiel van der Ros]

John was asking if it makes a difference for pretty standard desktop 
stuff like presentations. It doesn't. Theoretically perhaps, but nothing 
most people would notice in everyday professional use. Programs like 
photoshop mainly do their processing on the CPU, not the video card. The 
heavy processor & memory video cards on PC's, even PC-laptops (like Ati 
Radeon and Geforce Go), are mainly meant for gaming. That's what I was 
explaining.

But we're getting *very* off topic for an Open Source list now... :)
