Where can I find.............

Where are you looking? There are quite a few of those on eBay, but you wont find any in stores with no OS on them.
 
buy a laptop and run a disk wiper on it, you dont have to buy it with no os. better yet, buyone with xp and just partition it
 
I think that's the same as Microsoft selling Vista. It's for people that don't have OS X to upgrade to that OS.

No the reason you say that is b/c, YOU HAVE NO REASON TO RUN ALL THREE SYSTEMS...... I like having all three on there and plus it is a college laptop, I like it to be able to change when I want and when I need.
 
Apple is all about proprietary pretentiousness. The only reason many people buy macbooks or macbook pros is to waste their money on something overpriced and show off that they have one. Apple makes sure that it's considered 'cool' by only allowing macos to be run on their own hardware and nothing else. From what I've seen (sister got a macbook c2d 2.16ghz, 1gb, INTEGRATED graphics, 13" for $1300) the OS is horribly inefficient and simply eye candy unless you have some software that ONLY runs on mac. The only price point at which macbook pros get a little more fairly priced are when you put in the 8600gt's, the 2gb of ram, and the santa rosa chips...but this is if you want to spend $2500+. I know people who have just wanted to run mac and windows for the hell of it, and regretted the premium paid for it, so think before you buy and go for an ibuypower laptop or something instead.

I wanted Mac for Photoshop, I feel that Photoshop on a mac is a bit better interface and easier to work with. Where I manage and am majority shareholder for a photography business, it just might come in handy. I might buy an Ibuypower, wipe the HDD, put a larger one in and put Vista & Ubuntu on it. :)
 
haha, this is probably going to spark a debate now. i pretty much agree with wafflez. i think most (not all) people who buy macs buy them because they are trendy, not because they are superior.
