[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 396866, member: 9385"] Hah! That's funny, because I have a white Apple sticker that I got with one of my Macs or iPods stuck over the Dell logo on the lid of my employer-supplied laptop. When my wife was at the hospital for a seven day stay I had her use that since this was before we got our Macbooks and her neurologist (who is a die-hard Mac guy) saw that and thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen. Next visit she had her own Macbook, with no need to put an Apple sticker on the lid because, well, it already had the logo all nice and illuminated. Made the hospital visit [B]much[/B] more bearable since she could watch movies, surf the net, and of course iChat AV with me. Sure, she was able to sort of do the same (without the video chat) with the Dell, but she did not like the Dell trackpad and Apple sticker notwithstanding, the Dell was clunkier and she had to deal with Windows again. I couldn't really bring her old Mac Mini with external monitor for this stay. Oh, and hers is the black one. Yes, it gets a bit more smudgier but she's a clean-freak and makes sure that any smudgyness gets attended to right quick. My white one only has scratchiness and a little discoloration on the palm pads on either side of the trackpad to deal with which is handled by optical wipes quite nicely. Oh, and one answer for the original poster's concerns. I've posted this before, but I'm one of those people who like to have the biggest monitor one can have jacked up to the highest resolution it can handle. When I got my Macbook I also got the external mini-dvi->VGA adapter thing to connect it to my 21" CRT. I rarely use it. For some reason the 13.3" widescreen LCD at 1280x800 is perfect. I'll occasionally connect the external monitor and span it, but right now as I post this edit, the external huge screen is dark and I'm just using the internal LCD like I do 95% of the time. [/QUOTE]
