sorry, of course you can get a comparable pc. didn't mean to say that macs have cornered the smaller laptop market ...i know some friends who've been really happy with their asus laptops. those things are damn thin, but might be a slightly larger than a 12inch..still really light though. canada computers is good on college but that area is so crammed with stores that it might be better to just park the bike at either end of the strip (bathurst/spadina) and walk it. it'll take you less than an hour and you'll have a price sampling of the entire place. when you're done, you can spin down to bikes on wheels or parts-unknown! JW, you're going to george brown soon right? i'm sure they have student discount at their mac store.
