My HP laptop supports booting from a USB memory stick, or USB Disk/CD/DVD. Unfortunately the internal hard drive in now in the freezer and I'm waiting for a new one from someone who hopefully speaks understandable English. Sadly tough, they don't seem to want me to bill them for the time it will take me to install the "original factory settings" on the new completely bare disk that might arrive tomorrow. Or might not. though they do seem to have good response time. Funny I had no problems with the disk until they fixed the power connector. :'/
So maybe you should look at PCs instead of Macs, and beware HP technicians working on your PC?
It wasn't really that I wanted to boot to a USB hard drive, is it possible to. I have a Firewire that boots nicely with the Mac Mini. I really like Mac OS X, so I don't think I will by a PC for a desktop.
