I'm still awaiting my Macbook Pro to arrive!
Thought it was time I invested in some new Mac technology, although I refuse to ditch my PowerMac G5, even if it can't use a lot of new software.

You're bragging JK !
Wish we could all afford a MacBook (but if Mrs ITK stopped buying shoes .....)

You are right, angel - portability is their strongest selling point.
But better a tablet than a net book or laptop I think (although I fall for anything "new" that comes along !)
Not much bigger than an A4 pad, very light, bright screen, easily managable when on the move.

Thanks for the feedback. Given what you've said it seems there is no point in changing my laptop. Kind of makes you wonder why they're so popular.
