Some very nice pics of the MacBook Pro 17" Laptop which is what I'll be buying next month when I get my next installment of student loan.

I use Mac's at Uni (Graphic Design) but I'm just abit worried I'll spent 1.6k on a Laptop and wont use it very much because it cant run all my windows programs.

You have three options:

Parallels, a virtual machine within OS X (requires any version of Windows)
Cross Over Mac, runs programs natively (no Windows needed but limited compatability)
Boot Camp, Apple's dual boot option and by far the best for total compatibility and performance, Windows XP seriously flies with the C2D/2Gb/256gfx (requires Windows XP SP2 Home or PRo disk - Vista in the future)

Of course the best benefit is Mac OSX. You see, there is no excuse. :)

Just puts it in to super-low power consumption mode, ready to resume where you left off rather than booting the OS again. It sleeps when you close the lid or choose sleep from the blue apple menu. Personally I never actually turn mine off, just put it to sleep.

Edit - If it's not plugged in to the power supply then sleeping overnight might use about 5% (?) of battery power.

If you want to switch from normal operation to external screen:

Plug in power, display, external keyboard, external mouse
Close the lid and it should sleep (see "breathing" white light on the front edge)
Press a key on the external keyboard to wake it for use in on the external screen only ("clam shell" mode).

Yeah, I don't like a cluttered dock.. and to be honest I'm not running any of my PPC apps (CS 2, Office) so they're currently AWOL until the UB's come out.

Don't get me wrong, I have Flip4Mac installed, but I don't tend to put stuff on the dock that I don't actively need (the WMVs load through Flip4Mac.. so I never need open it).

Speed-wise; It's fab! Loving the speed of the native apps.. I actually have it as my main desktop at the moment (contemplating not getting a Mac Pro now), although we'll see how I get on.

Size-wise; Fits great in my neoprene case and is a LOT smaller than I imagined it! I have to say I love the extra screen real-estate..watching DVDs whilst chatting to mates - It's a godsend when your browsing the net too.

24" screen is brilliant. Good for when Im photoshopping on the Mac, and great when i'm gaming on the PC :) The hard drives are all connected via Firewire 400.
