If laptop, get the best Powerbook you can afford. 15" is probably your best bet if you'll be playing games.If desktop, you can get a 20" iMac for about $2k. They have a 2ghz G5 (remember it's not all about the ghz, this has a 667mhz frontside bus...), 128mb Radeon 9600, a 250gb hard drive, and 512mb of RAM standard. Its Superdrive (DVD burner, CD burner, obviously reads both too) burns at 8x. Plus they look damn sweet. The dual 2ghz G5 Power Mac is also around two grand, and may be appealing if you already have a nice monitor. Obviously the Power Mac has more processing power, what with two 2ghz processers with 1ghz frontside bus, but it actually has a smaller hard drive than the iMac at 160gb. It does have a 16x burn speed Superdrive though and the same Radeon 9600 standard.You should keep in mind that you'll have to buy Microsoft Office if you want Word, Excel, etc. (cheaper if you're a student/teacher or parent of a student with Apple's educational discount, that goes for hardware too).Edit: City of Heroes is not available on Mac OS X. Maybe with the Intel switch that'll change (it will supposedly be easier to port Windows games to the Mac), but you can only wait and see.</blockquote>
