actually, PC mag found the 17" MBP to be the fastest laptop "PC" they ever tested running Vista -- and games -- last year
>> The MacBook Pro outperformed the rest of the notebooks we tested, all of which claim Windows as their primary--nay, their only--operating system. We loaded Windows Vista Home Premium on the Apple notebook, and it snagged a WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88. In games it achieved a blazing frame rate of 141 frames per second in Far Cry (with antialiasing turned off).

if you do decide to go with an imac, get the last model 2.4 or current 2.66 so you can get the better card
