oldboy I agree with you, I just read of people who did the Hakky thing on PC looking at the cat (Leperd) and Macs with intel watching Bill Gats 7
and still didn't get total satisfaction ether way, better results when a ext hard drives is exclusive,,,if you know what I mean.
Why cause a headache if you don't have to.
I think a Power PC with Windows 7 ( Bill Gates) would suffice, cheaper for more power and more accessorys as well.
Thanks for offering your expertise, your comment was definitely appreciated, and it was also conformation for me to go the native route.
Lenovo biggist Laptop doesn't have Intel power chips yet like a i3, i5, and i7 and I haven't seen a 17'' screen. http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/na/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:category.details?current-catalog-id=12F0696583E04D86B9B79B0FEC01C087¤t-category-id=E5BCB035604D4177B206A55DD593B265
