Another mac user here. Been using my own MacBook Pro for a year or so now. Purchased mine the day the original 17" versions came out. Still use Windows (or boot camp on the MBP) to do most of my gaming (with WoW being a big exception there) but all my productivity work is done on the Mac. It's been very solid thus far.

Mac, yo.

By the way, NWN 2... yay? Everyone says pretty mixed things about it. On the one hand, pretty. More classes! On the other hand, complaints. I've heard that it's kind of a downgrade in some ways. Personally, I can't believe they kept Parry. Thoughts?

There are a lot of ways it could be better, but overall, I've been enjoying it. I'm playing the Windows version because I already had a Boot Camp install and decided I'd rather pay $30 this summer than wait to pay $50 for the Mac port. I'd suggest waiting for the price to come down, maybe even waiting for the game + expansion bundle.

Nice to see this thread back.

I ordered the new 2.8 24" iMac. Still don't have it, so I bought one of the new minis to tide me over (it's going to be my kids' computer). I really, really like it. I'm surprised at how fast it is. Of course, we've been using a G4/800 Quicksilver PowerMac for the last 6 years, so everything is going to feel fast in comparison.

Though I am still not entirely convinced that I should spent so much money on a notebook I might not use as my primary computer.

I use the 17" at work as my main computer. Amazing machine. It could easily be your primary machine. The 15" isn't bad either, but I really like that larger screen. And it's still plenty portable.

New to the board but a proud Mac User non the less!!!! I've just recently started posting on D&D sites and been quite vocal as of late on the WotC boards about my displeasure of how they are neglecting the fairer platform with the 4e software. They really have no clue how badly that's going to hurt them. Macs may make up only a fraction of their users but there only has to be one in a gaming group to keep the group from using it. I know our group has 3 users out of 6 players and since we all can't use the software, there's really no reason for any of us to use it. It shows a very shortsighted naiveté on there part to use a closed architecture to set up these tools when they very easily could have used more open source programming to make it a universal tool.
