[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 357475, member: 24098"] I think so. Prior to my MacBook Pro (disclaimer: it has a 15.4" display), I used an ultra-portable Dell Inspiron 700m with a 12" screen. Once you get used to it, you'll love the portability and the fact that it fits just about anywhere (including tray tables in coach). Obviously, this is a very subjective matter. Definitely see it in person. 1GB is the sweet spot IMO, Windows or Mac. Entirely subjective. Do you like Windows? Have no problems with it? If the answers is "yes", then go with a Windows machine. No need to re-learn a whole new operating system and buy all new software if Windows floats your boat. If, however, you are sick of running endless maintenance, troubleshooting driver issues and buying the latest and greatest in anti-virus suites, then consider a Mac. Worst case scenario, if you find you just can't live without a particular Windows application, you can always run Windows on it either in a virtual machine (w/ Parallels) or via Bootcamp. For me, Mac was the right choice. I'll never buy another Windows machine, unless it's for gaming. [/QUOTE]
