You bought a MacBook and didn't get the new MacBook air? My Christmas present to my self was a Sony Vaio VGN-UX380N, the UltraPortable with 4.5” display. Turns out nobody can stand using a computer that small and the price was driven down from $2,500 to $900 in a matter of months. However, I love it. Sony makes good machines and with built in WiFi and an EDGE modem - I'm online anywhere. Yes, I'm using *cough* Vista Business Ed. The Vaio has been the only computer I've seen where Vista doesn't totally bite. I'm not really fond of OS X, although I have several Mac zealot friends who would completely disagree. But, I always keep a Linux box going, basically for development as use as a home server. I have a big clunky Compaq Presario C500 Laptop with Vista Home as my "Desktop PC", the thing is too huge to carry around. Sitting right next to a ThinStar 300 $10 thin client to connect to my server, or other computers as needed. What? You bought a MacBook and didn’t get the new MacBook air?
