OMG, this thread is great for me to read. In Mexico, I hated my SIL's Mac, only because I didn't know what I was doing! She had to load up all of my photos. She bought it because she is a serious amateur photographer (and a good one) and apparently Mac's are the end all be all for this? She worked with John on MUSH, and bought it, never having owned one. I am too impatient with the learning curve.

So, if there is debate here, can anyone recommend a non-Mac that is both slim and light, and gives great picture resolution from the camera? Really, that's all I need it for other than internet.
