    I love it. There's not a single thing I would change. Since you have a nice desktop you should get a MacBook to travel with. Have you checked them out?

    No problems with the 17". When the 15" first came out they ran hot but Apple fixed it with a firmware upgrade.

    I had purchased a powerbook pre-intel chips so I'm still regretfully using it.
    I'm gonna wait for the next gen anyways. They are so slick.

    The biggest benefit for buying a Mac is the fact it can run either Windows or Mac OS X. Why buy one PC laptop when you can get 2 OSes for the price of one???

    I edited Nark's posing video for him. I did it in Final Cut Pro. Honestly, it took me about 10 minutes to do. He told me he was messing around on his PC for 2 hours trying to do it.
